On the Alito nomination we aren’t there yet. But there will be a lot of buzz around this morning’s Washington Post article quoting Majority Leader Sen. Bill Frist that the Constitutional Option, or as the Democrats and the MSM call it, the “Nuclear Option,” is still a very real part of the landscape if Democrats decide to filibuster the nomination.

Democrats are saying this kind of tough talk is unnecessary, but if folks have been paying attention, they’d know that the Democrats and their minions have been talking about a filibuster for weeks now. It’s good that Frist is drawing lines in the sand now, rather than a month from now with nomination on top of us.
