ConfirmThem

Just a note to confirmthem fans that National Review's new blog Bench Memos has the full text of Senator Frist's opening statement today, and they also have some pretty decent commentary, too (although they use dated words like "poppycock," the likes of which you will never find here at confirmthem).

If this whole thing does "go nuclear," one major reason will be Sen. Reid's unwillingness to allow Democratic Senators to vote their consciences on cloture motions. Reid seems to still insist that cloture voting is a matter of party loyalty. Senator Specter made this point in his speech today.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin summarizes the situation and the blog coverage.
