More Republican filth on display. Can Republicans get any dirtier? Corruption, fraud, constant lying....they're going to try.

======="But Democrats quickly questioned whether other future Republican leaders would do the same if Frist opens the door by changing the rules to ban judicial filibusters. "Every time I talk to Senator Frist I say, 'You're going to be leaving here in a year and a half. What kind of a legacy do you want?'" Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said Tuesday.

Frist, who has said he would leave the Senate after 2006, is working to ensure he has 50 votes to approve a rules change that would end Democrats' ability to threaten filibusters of Bush's judicial nominees. Democrats blocked 10 of Bush's first-term appeals court nominations through filibuster threats and allowed confirmation of 34. Bush has re-nominated seven of the 10.

While it takes only a majority vote to change Senate rules, it takes 60 senators to end a filibuster. The Senate has 55 Republicans, 44 Democrats and a Democrat-leaning independent.

Reid suggested last week that getting rid of the legislative filibuster could be Frist's next target if he wins on the judicial filibuster. On Tuesday, he suggested that Frist might also stop senators from blocking other kind of presidential nominees like John Bolton, Bush's nominee for United Nations ambassador."
