The decision to recess the Senate without a vote contradicts what Frist said earlier this week. "We'll stay as late as they would like tonight and tomorrow night," Frist said Wednesday, according to the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call. "My expectation is that by the end of this week, and before our recess, and possibly into our recess, we expect what all American people expect and deserve; an up-or-down vote on this outstanding candidate."

Democrats have said they will filibuster the vote on Estrada who, in their view, is reticent about his views and under-qualified. Democrats have said they have the votes necessary to block cloture, which normally ends debate in the Senate and leads to a floor vote on any given issue.

Frist said if "judges are going to be filibustered, not based on qualifications, but...partisan politics, it sets a bad precedent for this Congress and future Congresses.

This debate has changed in two weeks.....and not in te direction you are intimating...

It sounds like a game of 7-card stud: two down and one up, then a round of betting and bluffing. Then another card up and more bluffing, then another, then another, and finally one more hole card and more bluffing.

I'm not holding them to the literal words they said based on the early cards, since those were meant to expose the Democrats hand. We're getting down to the final cards now, so let's see what happens from here on out.
