	Boston.com / News / Nation / Senate GOP speeds vote on marriage amendment
		WASHINGTON -- Senate Republican leaders said yesterday they plan to put a federal ban on gay marriage to a vote by mid-July -- accelerating their schedule for the proposed constitutional amendment and potentially forcing Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts and other Democrats to cast a controversial ballot right before the Democratic National Convention.
		Senate majority leader Bill Frist, Republican of Tennessee, said he intends to hold the vote the week of July 11, two weeks before the Boston convention begins.
		At the same time, it is unclear whether Republican leaders will secure the 60 votes needed to bring the measure to the floor of the Senate, let alone for it to pass the Senate overall.

		OLYMPIA - Sen. Bill Finkbeiner, a 34-year-old former Democrat from Seattle's eastern suburbs, was elected majority leader of the Republican-controlled Washington Senate on Thursday.
		David Rolf, the Service Employees International Union leader who is trying to persuade lawmakers to ratify a contract for the state's home health care workers, called Finkbeiner the kind of leader he could work with.

	National Review: Dole redux - Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott
		Says one GOP senator: "He has the potential skills of a Lyndon Johnson." But, so far, the Majority Leader with whom Trent Lott is being com- pared most often is Bob Dole -- and not always favorably.
		Inside the Senate, the word most associated with Lott's tenure as Majority Whip is "brilliant." He had a hound's nose for trouble spots and a tight organization that reliably delivered votes.
		When Lott stepped in as Majority Leader last year, he thought it was imperative that he clear away the legislative tangle he inherited, pass bills, and get his Republican senators home to campaign.

	CNN.com - Lott steps down as majority leader - Dec. 20, 2002
		Lott was elected majority leader in November, but his political standing eroded in Washington because of the controversy surrounding his praise of Strom Thurmond's 1948 segregationist campaign for the presidency.
		But he was among the first of the GOP's 51 senators to call for a meeting of the party conference to consider whether to vote on a new leader.
		But most GOP senators kept quiet about whether they thought Lott should be replaced, and the dynamics changed dramatically once word leaked out that Frist was sounding out his colleagues about a run.

		The Senate also is waiting to pass judgement on further changes the governor has proposed to the state parole system, Bruno said.
