Frist Goes "Nucular"
[Ed. note: Don't get her started on the legislators' and president's inability to say "nuclear".]
So Frist is expected to use the nuclear option today when he tries to force a vote through on the president's most controversial court nominees. I'm watching the Senate Dems briefing on CSPAN, apparently recorded this morning.
If there's anything good to be had from this, I think it's very possible that Frist is killing his own chances at a successful 2008 GOP presidential run. With 70-80% of voters opposed to the killing of the filibuster rule, it's always possible a few of them will remember who was so determined to serve as executioner.
This man does to government what he did from kittens he adopted from animal shelters: guts them and experiments on them while they're still alive.
