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.
Do you really believe given a choice - Specter would "transform" the judiciary to look the way the majority of the conservatives want it to look?.....
What is your take on the timing and tone of Specter's statements - have you read the entire transcript?
