Frist: All Nominees Deserve Up Or Down Votes

Blogs for Bush

Frist released a statement moments ago:

<<<

I appreciate Senator Reid’s willingness to give Mr. Griffith a fair up or down vote. Mr. Griffith has been waiting for almost a year for this basic courtesy. In fact today marks 4 years since the first of these highly qualified nominees began waiting for the civility of a vote.

This is a first step but there are 7 other highly qualified nominees who have been filibustered in the 108th Congress who deserve an up or down vote as well. I remain committed to this fundamental principle and the return to 214 years of Senate tradition. I urge Senator Reid and the Democrats to take another look at my fair offer and to come to the table to work with me for a solution.”

>>>

Good. Now let's forget about that ridiculous Lott-Nelson compromise.
