Frist Reverses Himself, Pushes Bolton Vote

Ok, in and of itself, I don't find this unusual. But this quote hit me -

"Talking to reporters in the White House driveway after he joined other GOP lawmakers for a luncheon with Bush, Frist said: 'The president made it very clear that he expects an up or down vote.'"

Clearly, the Legislative branch has been almost entirely under the control of the Executive for the last few years. But I've never seen it so openly acknowledged.
