Re: Frist On Judges

To follow up on Ramesh’s post, “Bravo” to Senator Frist. His words are measured, but his message is clear. Continued obstruction of President Bush’s judicial nominees will not stand. The full text of his comments, which Ramesh mostly quoted, is here. Let’s be clear about something — this is not a “nuclear” option as its opponents have called it, but merely allowing the full Senate to vote “yea” or “nay” on President Bush’s nominees. The Dems went nuclear some time ago with unprecedented filibusters of judicial nominees. But Frist’s threat merely restores order to chaos.
