This will be a big test for Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), because the Democrats are threatening a filibuster. Frist made a good start by calling the Democrats' bluff. Usually the mere threat of a filibuster is enough to derail a vote. But Frist is challenging the Democrats to go out on the Senate floor, in full view of the C-Span2 cameras, and use this trick to prevent the first Hispanic from sitting on this court.

What a blessed difference from our dearly departed Mr Lott.

Frist made a good start by calling the Democrats' bluff.

A Senate Majority Leader who actually has some brains.

What a refreshing change!
