Frist About to Fold Again

C-SPAN2 ^ | 30 Apr 03 | Myself

[Paul M]

Frist is about to go TU again. Watching Mr. Leahy now saying that they are about to strike a deal to bypass Estrada and Owens to get a Hispanic on the court. My Heros.

[Dan from Michigan]

Frist is looking about as bad as Trent Lott.

[smith288]

Im beginning to think Republicans get their life threatened if they dont fold.

[dead]

If your sole source is Leahy, I'll wait before slamming Frist.

[jwalsh07]

No way.

[Howlin]

Did you miss yesterday where they confirmed a WHITE MAN, thus bypassing Estrada and Owens?

Lighten up.

[rintense]

Here we go again.

[Howlin]

They did the same thing yesterday.

[headsonpikes]

"L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace!"

Backbone bump.

[ACAC]

What are you talking about? The guy Frist is about to get confirmed was originally a Reagan appointee and Bush is promoting him. Any conservative we can get through is great. That would be 2 conservative Circuit court nominees in one week. That would be quite a week.

[jwalsh07]

Slow news day + Spring fever = ????

[Digger]

Your "Two-Party Cartel" again at its best. And he was Bushes pick to screw you over. And Redspan back again & soon Teddy K. probably will get another 11 Billion for his pet project & the Klintoons bad mouth every conservative idea after given a total pass by GW & another 15 Billion for AIDS. Out slick'in the slinkmeister all with your pubbie funds.

[Howlin]

Looks like.

[Servant of the Nine]

Can't anyone do an "Abner Louima" on Frist and give him a toilet plunger to replace the backbone he obviously no longer has?

[Dan from Michigan]

It's the same ole story, same ole song and dance......

I miss Alan Simpson.

[The Old Hoosier]

Told you so....

[montag813]

I don't get the strategy here. "Getting a hispanic" who doesn't reflect sound judicial sense, is worse than none at all. My wife and I were profoundly moved by Estrada's life story--quintisentially American. Fighting for him, a Hispanic, instead of yielding to another less qualified candidate, would be dishonest and would also yield NO benefits in the Latino community in 2004. We need to FIGHT for Estrada...THAT and only that will be respected.

[Steven W.]

Right, the emphasis is on CONSERVATIVE, not Hispanic. Conservatives are blind to color & can see right through a liberal in sheep's clothing, hispanic or otherwise.

[Wright is right!]

Dubya's cutting Frist a little slack - for a little while. Bet the Prez doesn't have infinite patience. Sooner or later, the MJ is going to actually have to show some real leadership or he'll have an interesting meeting with The Dubya.

Frist is operating at a distinct disadvantage, though. He is a gentleman.

First of all, Prado, who is the one who is about to be confirmed, has been nominated for a different court than Estrada. Estrada has not been pulled. Second, Prado is just as conservative and qualified as Estrada. It is sad when people post things like Frist is caving when he is actually winning.
