I think Reid's offer might be to allow all 7 to get a vote in exchange for a pledge not to use the nuclear option during a supreme court filibuster. Unclear why Frist would accept that offer.

The "Fox News Sunday" panel thinks that the Dems will go along with passing ALL of the pending seven judges in order to preserve the use of the filibuster for the upcoming Supremes nomination.

If the "Nuclear option" is used next week, the Dems are done for on the Supreme court one.

I don't really see any advantage. I think Frist would be forced to use the "Nuclear" on a Supreme.
