The ports bill was still being drafted early Friday, but aides said it may include a court security bill championed by House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., and legislation to limit Internet gambling.
The aide I spoke to said he would pass along my message to the committee members. He also advised that I call Senator Frist's office because "he is pushing this thing hard today."
Apparently, Frist is convinced that his political future depends on his ability to appease the Family Research Council and other conservative Christian groups prior to the elections. He pissed them off when he changed his stance on the embryonic stem cell issue.
