Anti-Filibuster Votes? - Updated
Okay, Senator Frist. If you have the votes, you had better not wimp out this time and try the upteenth "last ditch effort at compromise." Because if you do...

We're kind of tired of hearing promises. We want to see some action taken on this pretty soon. (H/t: Hugh Hewitt)
UPDATE - Frist is going to compromise, and it doesn't sound good.
In private talks with Majority Leader Bill Frist, the Senate's top Democrat has indicated a willingness to allow confirmation of at least two of President Bush's seven controversial appeals court nominees, but only as part of a broader compromise requiring Republicans to abandon threats to ban judicial filibusters, officials said Monday.Where's the promise not to filibuster another nominee? Will Frist even ask? Why is he even considering giving Frist and Carl Levin the power to veto one of the president's choices?At the same time he offers to clear two nominees to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals for approval, officials said Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., wants a third appointee to be replaced by an alternative who is preferred by Michigan's two Democratic senators...
... Officials said as part of an overall deal, Reid has indicated he is willing to allow the confirmation of Richard Griffin and David McKeague, both of whom Bush has twice nominated for the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. At the same time, the Democratic leader wants the nomination of Henry Saad scuttled.
This is not an acceptable compromise, in my opinion, and I doubt it will go over well with the base. If this is how Frist deals with challenges, then I hope he is kept as far away from the White House as possible. The Democrats are only making this move because they think they'll lose, and because they're losing. The opposition is in the process of destroying itself, and Frist just gave them an escape hatch.
UPDATE - More here.

» Frist To "Compromise" On Filibusters/Judges? from Ace of Spades HQ
In exchange for two lower-court nominees going through, Frist agrees to not attempt to end further judicial filibusters? Is this a joke? In related news, millions of voters just agreed to "compromise" with the GOP. The compromise involves us voters... [Read More]

Boa noite pessoal, realmente ter um carro é trabalhoso devido ao da verdadeira pilantragem de algumas empresas como as de vendas de usados. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato firmado ou tem escondidas em letras ilegíveis deveres que não beneficiam ao adquirinte do carro. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as deveres do comprador. Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os cuidados para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça no final. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil fazer uma boa compra.

Bom dia turma, realmente manter um veículo é custoso devido ao altos custos de algumas empresas como as de vendas de usados. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato assinado ou tem escondidas em letras pequenas regras que não beneficiam ao adquirinte do automóvel. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as artimanhas do consumidor. Estava lendo umas conselhos no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os passos para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça no final. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil fazer bons negócios.

Bom dia pessoal, com certeza possuir um veículo é difícil devido ao encarecimento de algumas empresas como as de leasing. Estas nem dão valor ao contrato assinado ou tem escondidas em letras microscópicas deveres que não beneficiam ao comprador do automóvel. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as clausúlas do comprador. Estava lendo umas dicas no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os cuidados para a aquisição sem ter dor de cabeça depois. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil fazer boas aquisições.

I’m impressed, I must say. Really not often do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you have got hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not enough individuals are talking intelligently about. I am very glad that I stumbled across this in my seek for something relating to this.
