Frist says Senate Republicans using filibuster too much
By Michael O'Brien - 02/26/10 10:28 AM ET

Senate Republicans are using the filibuster too much, their former majority leader said Friday.

Former Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), who served as the Senate Republican leader from 2003 to 2007, at the same time said that the filibuster has been used too much by both parties in recent political history.

"Yeah I think so," Frist said during an appearance on MSNBC if Republicans had used the filibuster too much in the past year.

"But in the same token, in 2003-2002, we had 10 consecutive filibustered judges. Some to the right, but some pretty much just in the middle," Frist added.

1. Liar liar more than his pants on fire McCain

told Fox yesterday they didn't use all those things. THAT THEY WERE THINKING ABOUT THEM BUT NEVER DID. Can you believe that. He said not once did the us reconciliation. And according to fact it was used more during Bush reign than any other time since 1981.
