Well ... I'm willing to give Frist the benefit of the doubt - instead of joining the group which says he backed down on his promise to make them filibuster.

The other reason is that after this supposed "backdown" from Frist, there was not a dem media conference laughing at the repubs for backing down; which is their usual style.

Or maybe he did it to ensure that any filibuster would take place closer to the time that the balloon goes up in Iraq. It would be unseemly for the RATs to be filibustering a judicial appointment when we go to war.

Right - leave town the perfect answer to Cheney's question -

"All we can do," Vice President Dick Cheney told a gathering of top administration officials to discuss bioterrorism, "is ask ourselves, Have we done everything we can to prevent an attack?.."

Obviously not.

Open borders, anyone?
