If Frist does the deed, I will joyfully eat crow. If he doesn't, I will take no pleasure in being right. In either case, it is late by over a year, so you may have a long wait.

I predict the threat will dither on until the wafflers like Snowe are firmly committed against, as McCain has done. Then, the maneuver will fail a vote test. This will leave no option but to force the filibusterers to do it for real - a non stop, 24/7 talkathon, excluding all other business before the Senate. Which they should already have done.

They want filibuster? Then give it to them in such amounts that they shall sicken at the mention. Make Fat Teddy and Sheets and Chucky stand at the podium for 22 hours. Let the spotlight glare on them until even the disinterested masses can see how ridiculous and petty their arguments are. Be sure to get lots of footage for the election season, especially for Vermont, Nebraska, and W. VA.
