Plunging Headlong Into Crisis
Republicans Refuse Offer On Judges
Democratic Plan Sought Withdrawal of Some
Well, one can always hope. But it looks like Senator Frist's task master James Dobson and those other angry, but in control types on the far right won't back down. Apparently, no vote on the Nuclear Option is scheduled this week....and I don't think Frist will call for it until he knows he has the 51 votes....But if Frist & Company couldn't even get a bare majority on the Federal Marriage Amendment (a gimme vote as few will punish a politicians for voting against gays)...then changing an important part of the Senate tradition may be more difficult. Rumor has it Frist still needs up to 10 votes...
