This Man Wants to be President

. . . OK. I know he isn't being quite that crass about it, but Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-TN, seems poised to make a bold move to break the tide Democrat filibusters against the President's judicial appointments. If he is successful, he'll quickly endear himself to the Republican base. . . . But enough of presidential politics.

The Washington Times reports that Frist will use the nomination of California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown as the trigger for the "nuclear option" requiring an up or down vote for nominees. (The Washington Times requires a free, one-time registration to view the article)

Frankly it would be a bold and savvy move once again highlighting the implicit racism of liberal Democrats who refuse to accept the diverse nature of Bush's Presidency--maybe the most diverse in history.

Let's hope it plays out this way. Hope springs eternal when we consider the strong statements Frist made at the Justice Sunday event on April 24, 2005.
