The New York Times covers Dr. Frist's latest sillyness:

“The moment draws closer when all 100 United States senators must decide a basic question of principle, whether to restore the precedent of an up or down vote...or to enshrine a new tyranny of the minority into the Senate rules,” said Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.

Ah, yes, the tyranny of the minority. That's what John Stuart Mill was scared of when he said we need “protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling.”

It occured to me yesterday that Frist and Reid should be replaced by McCain and Harkin. I bet a LOT more work would get done in the Senate --- GUY
