Senator Warner is "leery..."

dontcha just love that word "leery...?"

Senator John W. Warner of Virginia is one of a select few Republicans at the center of a bipartisan courtship.

Mr. Warner has not decided whether to back the so-called nuclear option, a rule change that would bar Democrats from using the filibuster to block President Bush's judicial nominees. On Monday, he met with Senator Bill Frist, the majority leader and chief proponent of the change Then the Democratic leader, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, invited him in. By Tuesday, still uncommitted, he sounded leery.

"I just look at this institution as really the last bastion of protecting the rights of the minority," Mr. Warner said, "and we should be very careful before we try and make any changes."
