Wasn't there supposed to be another vote on John Bolton today?

I thought I heard that after Frist got called to the carpet earlier this week. Or did I get this wrong?

1. I had thought so too, but someone here said it might be Tues

2. Really?

Just in time for Shrub's speech.

3. No Roll call votes until Tuesday

But I don't think Frist has actually scheduled a Bolton vote.

There was talk, earlier in the week when the president told him that he WOULD hold another vote on Bolton, about holding it on Thursday. But he didn't, nor does he have it scheduled yet. Next week is a busy week with the Energy Dept vote on Tuesday and work on the Interior Dept appropriations.

Biden said yesterday that if the White House didn't give them the info they requested by the end of business today that the Bolton vote was dead. Apparantly Frist made some overtures to Biden to try to broker a deal with the WH, but then dropped it.

4. Even Lott and Alexander are calling for the information

They're framing it as "The WH should give the information and call the Democrats' bluff," but the real point is that they're telling the WH to release the info.
