McCain's last stand?

Defusing Frist

While Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist took the stage with a preacher who equated liberal judges with the Ku Klux Klan, moderate senators worked around the clock to avert the nuclear option.
Friday, May 20, 2005 05:56 PDT

Frist's press secretary tries to explain how the Senate majority leader's vote to filibuster a judge's nomination in 2000 wasn't really a filibuster.

Everything you wanted to know about the "nuclear option"

If the Republicans are as good as their word, it's going to be much uglier than you think.
