Spector must be prevented from becoming the next Senate Judiciary Chairman.

We won the election by a massive turnout of the Republican base. We must not let a RINO thwart our victory.

[kempster]

If Republicans want Evangelical Christians and Catholics to come out like they did yesterday they better figure a way around this guy from PA.

Spector owes his Senate seat to Bush, who supported him in his primary challenge.

Spector needs to shut up and color.

Arlen to President Bush: Thanks for pulling my ass out of the fire George - F.U.

[pointsal]

Let Arlen jump to the party of Jeffords....where he belongs....didn't seem to deliver Pennsylvannia for Bush.

[Mr. Mojo]

The ingrate-RINO Specter doesn't have time to celebrate -- his ultra-leftist agenda simply cannot wait.

Likely new Senate judiciary chairman warns Bush against nominating anti-abortion judges

Is this just posturing? First time I have ever heard of a chairman of a committee publicly warning a president of his own party about anything!

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Marked, and I mean Spector, not just this thread!

[HateBill]

Specter is probably threatening that he will retire if not promoted to Judiciary Chair, allowing Dem. crook/hack Ed Rendell to appoint a Democrat successor.

First, you can go here to send an e-mail to Frist:

(Don't know how to post hot link, just cut and paste)

Second, this is what I just sent:

Senator Frist,
I am writing to you in your position as Senate Majority Leader. I am very concerned that Sen Spector will be given the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee. Senator Spector's history in not supporting Repblican nominated judges, his attacks on Judge Bork, and his threats to President Bush to block any judge he felt was too conservative call into question his ability to support Pres Bush's nominees. We have had the democrats block and stall the Presidents nominees for four years, we do not need to put in place a supposed Republican to assist them in hindering/blocking future nominees. We have fought too hard during this election to try to give you a larger majority. Do not waste our hard fought victories by letting Sen Spector have this critical position. Thank you for hearing me out.

[maquiladora]

We should listen to him! He's an expert on everything!

[Nov3]

We should have lost this seat.

[Califelephant]

We can do something about this. We must to something about this. We WILL do something about this. If there's any way to keep him out of that chairmanship, we have to do it. Pressure on Frist. Pressure on Bush. Pressure on the Party. This is GUARANTEED to infuriate the base, and give joy to the opposition. This isn't what we won the election for.

[Burlem]

I tought Spectre was going to lose last night, I told my husband I did not care if he did, my husband said well he does have the R, I explained that spectre is as bad as Daschle, I would like to know how to voice opinion against him, as well, he does not need to be a committee chariman to anything.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Agreed.

[Mo1]

Shut up Specter ... You aren't going to block anything

[Fatalis]

Hey Senator Spector:

[Bedford Forrest]

I think the President needs to squash Spectre early on, for two important reasons. First, the thought of Spectre controlling the Committee is simply unacceptable. This most recent outburst against a highly popular President suggests that Spectre is senile or completely compromised or both. Moreover, Hatch's weak leadership has emboldened the the neofascist goons on the Democrat side of the committee until they now feel free to engage in all sorts of crimes against the republic. Spectre is weaker and more compromised than Hatch, if that is possible. In point of fact, he would become a willing captive of the Committee's arrant fascist contingent.

The second reason for squashing Spectre here and now, immediately in the wake of this recent insult to the President, is to announce to the rest of the Senate Rinos that their joyride is over. I believe that there is much in Spectre's dossier that would help him conclude that he really doesn't want to be Chairman of the Judiciary Committee after all. The President needs to send one of his men over to see Spectre for a little chat. Spectre as Chairman would destroy any prospect for the President's plan to return the Supreme Court to its proper role in our Constitutional system.

[Awestruck]

Trade him for Zell Miller....

[Robert_Paulson2]

Though he refused to describe the political leanings of the high court, Specter said he "would characterize myself as moderate; I'm in the political swim. I would look for justices who would interpret the Constitution, as Cardozo has said, reflecting the values of the people."

Spector will not chair the judiciary committee, UNLESS he kowtows to the party plank. The days where he can say, my way or I do a jeffords... are pretty much over.

The majority of America does NOT support unregulated and unqualified abortion on demand...
