Frist issued a statement that was reported in our local press:
"Republicans believe in the regular order of fair up and down votes and letting the Senate decide yes or no on judicial comfirmations free from procedural gimmicks like the filibuster and I hope Senator Reid and others know our door is always open to reasonable proposals for fair up or down votes for judicial nominees."
He refers to the filibuster as a "gimmick?" Both parties have used that gimmick for over one hundred years.
