Kyl on Filibusters

Yesterday, Hugh Hewitt interviewed Senator Jon Kyl, and here's part of it:

Hugh Hewitt: Have you got the votes... if it has to go to a vote?

Jon Kyl: Yes we do. And I remember you were talking to me about this when folks were getting really frustrated and we kind of backed it up and said first of all, we have to get the people through the committee, to the floor. We have now done that, except for one person, as you noted. And so now, it's ready. It's teed up. We've got the votes, and the only thing that really we've been waiting for is to just see if there's any hope for compromise here. It appears to me that the Democrats actually want the confrontation. Bill Frist has put out the most reasonable proposals you can imagine. They've been rejected.

Not much equivocation there.
