Will the Senate Dems walk out if Frist brings the "Nuclear Option"
to the floor? The last I heard was Harry Reid had the support of ALL the Senate Dems. Will they do it? Will they walk out?

2. Did you happen to catch Frist's press conference after their meeting
today? Man was he snarky. He just can't believe that the Democrats are willing to shut down the government after THEY were the first to destroy a 200 year old tradition of NOT using the filibuster to stop Judicial nominations. The repukes are going for it. They are going to bring this to the floor. Just seeing Frist's cocky, arrogant attitude today made it pretty clear that is his/their intention.

The Senate Democrats KNOW they have our support. They better walk. :grr:

5. You never know
They might put up a fight. Although in this case I don't know if they have the votes. But it would still be a profound statement about democracy if they did put up a fight.

4. Whatever their plan, I hope its aggressive and boisterous.
They've earned the right to just get really pissed off and to be bold in their stand against such a crafty and corrupt opposition.
