Senator Boxer on C-SPAN the other evening reminded us that Frist the Moral, who so dearly wants to eliminate the fillibuster rule, voted to extend it a couple years ago when the Democrats were trying to seat a judge in California.The country's leading business lobbying associations, close GOP allies in recent legislative efforts and political campaigns, have told senior Republicans that they would not back the Frist initiative to force votes on President Bush's judicial nominees.
Business leaders say they fear the move would lead to a shutdown of Senate action on long-awaited priorities — as Democrats have threatened if Frist moves ahead with a rule change that they say would drastically alter the traditions of a body designed to respect the rights of the minority party.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
