So .... are you saying that it is futile to try to send a message when we see a problem .... I can give you numerous examples where an out pouring of public comment got their attention and brought about change.....
I am just saying that the GOP caucus is not going to deny Senator Specter his rightful chairmanship based on the rules and seniority considerations of the Republican caucus.
I do think it is useful to keep the heat on Frist and Specter.
However, it is really not necessary, because both men want the President to transform the federal judiciary. They will get the job done for the President.
Additionally, Senator Frist is running for President. If he wants any legitimate shot at the nomination, he has to make Specter deliver.
