Frist is again summarizing the past events. He has made 17 requests for vote, and 17 times the DEMs have objected. The nominee is qualified, deserves a vote. On to the cloture motion. C'mon.

Give him a moment... he's making the final case against the D's obstructionism. He's making it as hard on them as he can to oppose this vote. It will make them look worse when they continue obstructing...

Now pointing out that NO ONE took advantage of opportunity for more answers! Get'em!!

Frist is poking a big hole in the DEM primary argument of "need more information."

Estrada has made himself available to each Senator, personally; there was an offer from WH to submit questions.

The responsible thing for DEMs is to approve cloture this time around

But the GOP "Will press for an up-or-down vote on this noiminee until Miguel Estrada is confirmed."

Doesn't sound wobbly to my ears.
