I just saw another ad about how *'s noms deserve an up or down vote |
|
If Frist had the votes why would they still be running these ads? I'm guessing he doesn't have them.

1. The Constitution says "advice and consent". Doesn't say anything about |
|
an "up or down" vote or how the Senate is supposed to give that advice and consent. Long ago the Senate decided to protect the rights of the minority by allowing the filibuster. Besides that, 45 Democratic senators represent more people than 55 Republican senators. So it is really the Republicans who are in the minority here.
