1. Me too.
I suppose the mechanism would be to hear all the arguments from the parties, then Frist would get up at the end and propose that the rules need to be changed?

So when would that happen?

2. I'm not watching it
but I'm not holding my breath that nothing ain't going to happen.

3. From what I understand...
...they will have speeches for the rest of this week. In a conference call today, Senator Reid said they expect a vote to come on at least one of the judges Tuesday or Wednesday next week (and that will result in the attempt to change the judicial filibuster rule).

4. I too am watching C-Span. This is great. History in the making
and the repubs are completely in the wrong. Reid, Boxer and Schumer have been great. Feinstein just came on.
