Bolton has NOTHING at all to do with the compromise and memo; NOTHING!

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said the nuclear option is "gone for our lifetime," as a result of the compromise. Less than 48 hours later Bolton was blocked by filibuster. Frist voted with Democrats against cutting off debate in a parliamentary move that allows him to call for the vote on Bolton to be reconsidered when the Senate reconvenes.

. Because of Frist's parliamentary move once the reopened debate ends Bolton would need a simple majority (THE NUCLEAR OPTION) to be confirmed by the Senate, which has 55 Republicans, 44 Democrats and one independent.

. Bolton has EVERYTHING to do with the compromise and memo; EVERYTHING!

. Tsk Tsk on your reading comprehension. Learn how to read between the lines
