I agree with you, If they are going to fillibuster make the rats actually do it. Please will someone from the Republican side of the isle please show some backbone
I'm extremely critical of Frist, but he simply can't do this thing right now and he knows it. He needs 51 senators on the Hill at all times during a filibuster, or else they'll fail a quorum call and automatically adjourn.
They'll wait until McConnell is back and Bunning's wife is set. Then they'll go for eight days of nothing but Estrada.
Unless, of course, the war starts, in which case I think we'll get him through, no prob.
Did you read this thread? They can't...
