Frist should have cut off debate today, scheduled a cloture vote for tonight, and a vote for confirmation tomorrow at 10:00 AM. But, no, the weak sister gives the traitor/treason Democrats until next week. What a whimp!!!

Unless of course there is a Senate Rule that a certain amount of time has to be given as warning for a Cloture Vote.

Cloture
The cloture rule–Rule 22–is the only formal procedure that Senate rules provide for breaking a filibuster. A filibuster is an attempt to block or delay Senate action on a bill or other matter.
Under cloture, the Senate may limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours of debate.

You got that right! The only thing that makes me almost as furious as the DimWit traitors, are the Repub cowards & wimps who let them get away with it....again & again & again & so on. Frist is either a wimpy coward a complete ineffectual buffoon of a leader...or both!

You don't know much about Senate rules, obviously. Once the cloture motion is filed, they have to wait a full day before it can be voted upon. The earliest that could happen would have been Saturday. If cloture is successful there is supposed to be 30 hours of additional debate, so Reid must have agreed to wiave the addditional hours for them to schedule the vote for confirmation vote for Tuesday.

Big mistake IMHO... they will manage a coupe' by Monday, I feel it in my bones.

That only would have antagonized more moderate Dems.
