[Always Right]

2) Don't wave a red bandana in front of the media and the RINOs in Pennsylvania by labeling your petition Pro Life. If the PA RINOs tell Specter to fight, he will, and he has a ton of seniority. Better we leave it unlabelled and talk about his failure to vote Clinton out. The rest of us know the real score.

Good point. Not my petition, but fellow freeper cpforlife.org. We need to make the case more savvy with broader appeal.

Broad appeal & simplicity:

We don't need Specter on the Judicial committee at all because we don't need Senators there who will apply a litmus test to nominees nor Senators who have already demonstrated exceedingly poor judgment on past nominees (Bork, who else??).

Please don't stop with just the chairmanship issue. Specter can still potentially block nominees as a member of the judicial committee, simply by refusing to vote them out of committee to the floor of the Senate. If all the Democrats join him in such a vote, they will have the majority of the committee voting against the President's nominee.
