Frist Ready To Go Nuclear

The Washington Post is painting it as almost inevitable that Sen. Majority leader Bill Frist is going to nuclear and force through rule changes ending the fillibuster option and allowing the approval of Supreme Court judges and other appointees with just a simple majority.

I don't care whether the Dems have 58 Senators and the Presidency or the Republicans have 59 Senators and the Presidency -- I would hate for EITHER party to approve a Supreme Court justice who couldn't garner the respect and vote of at least 60 senators. It's amazing Frist wants to make them even less accountable to the people and their duly elected representatives than they are now.

So what are we gonna do about it? Me, I'm gonna send a polite email to all 100 senators telling them I am a moderate, a centrist, and I'm sick and tired of them catering to fringe activists and that this sort of dramatic rule change is simply unacceptable.
