Maybe Frist got a rat to switch ? Maybe Frist has a plan to bring a little more heat each day on this while keeping the confused as to when they will make them go 24/7 ? Maybe its a psych game ?

If I were a rat and I Frisk kept coming to the egde and backing ioff everyday it would drive me nuts. How could I plan not knowing which night would be "it".

I think you are right -- Hatch alluded to the fact that it was time the media really started covering this! Now referring to it as the Estrada Filibuster.

This deal tonight was to put it in front of the press so that they cannot ignore it!

My guess is it's a delaying tactic to allow time to try to reach a compromise with Daschle.... otherwise I have no idea. He gave a few days on his requested vote time but Daschle didn't budge on his requested amendment.

This is just like Groundhog day. My mom just emailed me and said the same thing, also said she is tired of hearing the same thing over and over and over again.

I think what we just watched was Frist showing the democrats what's in store for them if they continue with this line. It looks like it was a little exercise in power.

Agreed....

it sounds like this is a publicity stunt to force the liberal media to at least give the filibuster lipservice.

I don't recall perky Katie Couric mentioning this at all on the Today show.

Frist has to also have all Republicans standing behind him. Republicans are being inconvenienced as well.

We need to switch a few dems ourselves...Call them up, claim to be constituents supporting Miguel Estrada. Tell them you will not vote for them again if they support a filibuster (hey, it's true!;)

Folks, it appears Frist is just gearing up tonight; this was just intended to be a "test" or "warning shot."

Compromise about what? Daschle will drop the filibuster only with a full scale press conference. It will not be at midnight.

Okay, I'm more cooled off now. Sounds like some good points have been made after my last post. I'll keep the chin up and look forward to tomorrow.

Anyone up for a little Freep of the demo senators? Leave them a voicemail tonight. I have a feeling when it comes time for a vote, some of the vocal opposition will cave and do what they must politically. They will not sacrifice the hispanic vote. A little friendly persuasion is all they need. Here are the voicemail #'s and some email addresses.

"Maybe they decided to arrest Biden and Schumer for having illegal documents."

Sorry I joined this thread late. Could you give me a link or just tell me what you're talking about here?

I predict the RATs will capitulate after the war starts because the confirmation won't get as much press coverage as it would now. On the other hand, maybe not....
