CNN.com - Frist: Judicial filibusters must stop - Nov 12, 2004
Back into the fray, as they say. So the conserves have nearly everything political and now they want the minority party to have no way of stopping the majority juggernaut. Change the rules he says, they hold up our nominees, he says (10 rejected last 4 years, 200 confirmed - quite a good record actually). When willl they fucking stop bicthing and just accept they have us by the balls, they don't need to castrate our checks and balances. Its called a check on tyraany Mr. Frist.
