I am sorry but I have to agree, Frist should recuse himself - and all the Lawyers should too. That would settle the aurgument of conflict of interest.

Show me your basis in the Constitution for this! Our government is set up so interest counters interest. Frist is a Senator not a judge. You should appreciate the difference in function and requirements for office. Our constitutional republic was never intended to be lead by a priestly class of professional politicians who have no connections to the outside world. The US would be much better off if the House and Senate had term limits. That way more people from the real world like Dr. Frist would be able to serve.

I think he was joking. It would result in most of the Senate, maybe all of it, having to recuse themselves. Are there any other non-lawers in the Senate?
