Boom! Santa Monica's NPR station, KCRW, has a regular Friday program
Left, Right, and Center. Tony Blankley, editor of the
Washington Times, is the spokesman for the right. On today's program, speaking about the Nuclear Option, he said that:
- Frist will invoke it.
- Frist has the votes.
- It's going to be a bloody partisan fight for the next two to six months.
You can listen to the clip of Blankley
here (490K .wav - two separate statements in the single clip).
If Blankley is right, it explains Frist's throwing caution to the wind with his appearance at the upcoming Sunday con-fab on filibusters & faith.

I hope the eventual outcome of all of these judicial bashing/nuclear option tactics from hardcore right wing conservatives is to drive the moderate Republicans into the arms of the Democrats. After all, they're eating their own. The Christian Science Monitor recently reported that the federal judiciary is mostly Republican. Hey, and gas prices are going up. The ultimate pocket book issue.
