You must see something in Frist that he's failed to display to date. Every time he's pressed, he folds up like a clothes hamper.

That's not quite right, freind. The two outstanding votes to go nuclear last time were DeWine and Graham, remember. That wasn't Frist's fault. The GOP in the gang of 14 have already said an ideological disagreement does not constitute an extraordinary circumstance. Even McCain said SCOTUS nominee will get up & down vote.
Too harsh. He is faced with a unique situation with a minority willing to destroy the Senate and the country to get their way. He tried to work it out bloodlessly until he realized that was impossible. He was ready to pull the trigger last time when the rug was pulled from under him by the seditious seven.
There are no fig leaf now for the "moderates". It is ready, aim, fire and he will.
