[antaresequity]

Does Hatch give a reason for stepping down? This totally bites....

Or...maybe he knows Dub is gonna recess appoint the boatload of his nominees...

Hmm

[agitator]

Oh no, not Sphincter.......

[bmwcyle]

We just got hit by a magic bullet.

[pogo101]

This is bad.

I think Hatch was weak,

and although I don't HATE Specter in the least,

Specter will be worse than Hatch.

Cornyn, anyone?

[CWOJackson]

I'm AFFRAID you're right.

[hobbes1]

Arleen Sphincter now in Charge of Judiciary

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good, Hatch has been turning on a number of issues. Not the least of which is wanting to allow foreign borns to become president.

I don't trust him anymore.

[smith288]

Man...this sucks.

[MinuteGal]

The real question is WHY Hatch is relinquishing his seat as the all-powerful chairman of an all-powerful committee.......especially with RINO Spectre in the on-deck circle.

Hatch no spring chicken.....maybe ill health?

These guys only give up the power, glory and attention if there's some very overwhelming reason.

This is very, very, very bad.

Does anyone know who the other Republicans on the committee are?

[boomop1]

Specter will fit right in with Leaky Leahey the RINO Scottish Law scum sucker.

[cwb]

This sucks. Specter is one of the weenies who also thinks the Hague should be trying Saddam.

I think maybe he was term limited. This has been mentioned before. I'd have to look at the Committee rules to be sure of the term limiting.....

[DLfromthedesert]

Isn't it up to the Majority Leader to pick the Chairmen? And shouldn't the pro-life President lean on the Majority Leader if he truly wants pro-life, pro-family judges?

[John Beresford Tipton]

"Does Hatch give a reason for stepping down?"

LOL, probably the Recording Industry wants him to work full time for them.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Great.

Just great.

Might as well give the Committee to Kennedy.

[often]
the sheriff is on the way.

My guess is health. We shall see. Hatch is a weak leader and loves to cave into the Dems. Arlen Spector is even worse.
