Wow. Isn't this on the Senate floor? Why isn't Frist saying anything?

Sen. Frist did speak this afternoon, but Sen. Hatch is the head of the judiciary committee and heads the hearings.

Sen. Frist today: "Miguel Estrada's nomination has been pending for 18 months. That's too long. The Senate should act to confirm him - this week."

"To deny Miguel Estrada a confirmation vote is to deny the American Dream."
