The Republican expected to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee next year bluntly warned newly re-elected President Bush on Wednesday against putting forth Supreme Court nominees who would seek to overturn abortion rights or are otherwise too conservative to win confirmation.

I can afford to do that thanks to the Bush tax cut.
As I recall, this chucklehead voted AGAINST impeachment for Clinton.
That did it, warning the President on anything should cost this SOB his chairmanship.

. . . or just suck his brains out.
Didn't somebody already do that?
Senawhore Sphincter is an idiot.
I seem to recall a point of Scottish law (yes! really! -- at least in the eighteenth century) mentioned by Samuel Johnson -- that if the state will not, e.g., punish the murderer of your daughter, you are entitled to do it yourself.
Hey, Arlen's the one who's so crazy about Scottish law.
"likely?" Means he doesn't have the job now? Then why would anyone give it to him? Too bad more support wasn't thrown to the Republican who opposed him in the primary. I think he's a Dem in sheeps clothing.
Wasn't it spector who got some interventionist support from bush when he was running against a conservative in the primary?
Brains? Spector? Please, not in the same sentence.
Who the hell does Spector think he is, trying to ruin the most magical moment thusfar of this century?
Ditch him!
Spector may not survive our move to the 'life' side of the road. The nation has spoken... there WILL be more restrictions to the 'abortion on demand' industry, although we probably won't COMPLETELY outlaw it in the near term.
It is not altogether clear that Spector will win the majority of the Senator's support for this position any longer...
"Who would be better?" will be the question when the Senate reorganizes... but "Who couldn't be better than Spector?" might be the better one.
Who do we have with 'gravitas' to replace this guy on the Judiciary Committee? Perhaps we could make a short list.
We won.
We may NOT overturn all aspects of abortion, but as Senator Thune says... we CAN put some further restrictions on abortion that marginalize it legally. And we will.
"As I recall, this chucklehead voted AGAINST impeachment for Clinton."
Bush endorsed this guy? SHEESH
I think I would have preferred the RAT candidate over Specter - and might have even voted that way if I lived there.
Specter is a jerk RINO.
"Frist can just circumvent the committee and bring the nominee to the floor."
Huh? If that is so, why didn't he do this with Bush's Appellate nominees?
Just E-mailed my Senator, Frist, on this, thanks!
what happened to orrin hatch ?
Hey, Trent, thanks for growing a pair about 18 years too late, you DUFUS!!
Spector owes W big-time. If he repays that debt by blocking W's legitimate legislative initiatives, Spector will wind up in one of Dante's lowest circles of hell. Let's hope he has some ethical core and/or political sense, however unlikely that may seem.
