Frist holds all the cards in the current judicial nominee Senate confirmation battle; Frist can void the Senate filibuster rule, and bring all of Bush's nominees to the floor for an up-or-down vote - as the Constitution specified.
Frist's move would force the Democrats retaliate by shutting-down the Senate - (something that would probably work as well for them as shutting down the federal government did for Gingrich - in other words: it would be a disaster for the Democrats, and a win for the GOP -- A DOUBLE WIN, since they'd get the president's nominees confirmed, too).
Frist seems afraid to void the Senate rule. Perhaps he thinks it could hurt his chances at being elected president in 2008?
I suggest that Frist be more concerned about how "NOT confronting the Democrats" will make him seem to those of us who voted for Bush in 2004. In other words: if Frist cannot even stand up to the Senate Democrats, then how can ANYBODY expect him to stand up to al Qaeda, or the French and the UN or the Left-wing dominated MSM?!
Mr. Leader, how you handle this crisis will show us your what your made of! Do you have what it takes to BE president? If you cave into the Democrats, then I believe YOU DO NOT!
