When Will Frist Act?

Every damn week, I keep hearing that Sen. Majority Leader Bill Frist is going to actually enforce a rules change to stop the unconstitutional filibustering of President Bush's judicial nominees. And every time I hear it they keep saying the exact same thing: it will happen "in the next few weeks". They've been reporting this for the last few months.

I'm getting pretty impatient and quite frustrated that the standard response is that he will definitely do it, as soon it's clear that a compromise with the Democrats is no longer a possibility. HELLO?

Maybe Frist hasn't been keeping up with current events here, but exactly when have the Democrats shown that a compromise with them on ANYTHING is possible, much less one regarding these nominations?

A story in today's Washington Post reads:

"Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is all but certain to press for a rule change that would ban filibusters of judicial nominations in the next few weeks..." [my emphasis]

And Drudge is featuring this story right now as a "flash". Here's a flash: nothing is happening! Is the MSM just rehashing the same pool report over and over or does this just seem to go on forever? By this summer at least one Supreme Court Justice will retire - most likely Rehnquist. If this filibuster bullsh*t has not been taken care of my then, the fight will be all the more difficult.

Let's get a move on, Senator! It's time to stop pussy-footing around and go balls to the wall here. Cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of war!
