Thanks for that post. It is a delight to see Dr. Frist's testicles starting to regrow. Never in history has the Minority party been willing to contest the meaning of "advise and consent" so brazenly. "My goal is to have fair up and down votes. Are we going to shift from that principle? The answer to that is no," Frist said. Fine and good. Now will someone tell me what their negotiations covered during the past three months? It cannot have taken 100 days of this session to reach the same positions that existed at the beginning of this session -- that the GOP would insist on majority vote, and the Democrats would block appellate nominees any way they could. If it takes that long for both Reid and Frist to get back to square one, then maybe both caucuses need to question the efficacy of their leadership. I cannot fathom what took 100 days either.
