The majority leader's power move stunned committee Republicans and Democrats,

Frist is serious - seriously paying attention to the mood of the public. Is he up for reelection this year?

He could be considering a run for President. Also, one benefit of low poll numbers for a President is that it frees up members of the President's Party to start acting independently.

He voluntarily term-limited himself and while he would be up for reelection he is not running.

But as another poster noted, it is apparent that he IS in the preliminary stage of running for President.

I have always considered Frist kind of a wimp but if he salvages an enforcement only immigration reform bill in the Senate I will be giving him a serious reevaluation. I might also expect Tancredo to do likewise because he has been begging for a Republican Presidential Candidate to pick up the border enforcement mantle.

Thanks for the ping. I don't know if he is up for reelection or not. I read part of his bill and it sounds good =so far. He is even going after drunk drivers to get them out of the country.

I'll read this later today to make sure I have read it correctly.

"The majority leader's power move stunned committee Republicans and Democrats, "

they're stunned only because Frist has BA*LS. as Rush was saying yesterday and Savage has been saying for years, american men have been feminized and deBA*LED, and that goes for the swimmer, corny, the ghost, and maverick.

I don't trust any of them. Frist is only making a move to gain support from Conservatives for his planned Presidential run in 08. I've seen him cave to pressure too many times. I wish I could believe that he would steamroll this bill through, but I'm afraid he will cave to pressure again.

I don't think so, I think it is probably a feeble attempt to make it look like something is being done in hopes that folks like you, and I will "shut up, and go away."

Frist is retiring this cycle and running for president. Not a good move on his part, imo.
