WASHINGTON, June 17 (UPI) -- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has set a vote to try to break a filibuster on John Bolton's nomination to the United Nations.
The vote is scheduled Monday.
Frist, R-Tenn., told The Washington Times that Republicans and Democrats have had "constructive" ideas to end the impasse.
But Democrats said they are as united as ever against approving the nomination of Bolton as U.N. ambassador.
"I haven't seen a drop of weakening in our caucus. In fact, if anything, feelings have gotten stronger," said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y.
Democrats voted to filibuster Bolton three weeks ago, citing the administration's failure to turn over two pieces of information: drafts of Bolton's congressional testimony on Syria's weapons program and a list of names mentioned in foreign communications intercepts that Democrats fear he requested in order to try to intimidate intelligence analysts.
