[Founding Father]

Specter must not be allowed to chair the judiciary committee. Contact your senator now or Bill Frist.

[IrishBrewer]

C'mon, isn't it important to have someone knowledgeable about Scottish law heading up the Senate's judiciary committee? Makes sense to me even if it is 'not proved.'

[Cboldt]

If I were to put money on it, I'd say he has the chair. Not that I like it. We'll see if conservative positions are sought, or if the only thing sought is conservatives' votes.

[SwinneySwitch]

I believe Scottish Law requires Senators to vote against all RINOs!

[JSteff]

It was put forth on FR that when Rehnquist "passes" that Clarence Thomas should be nominated as Chief Justice. That is a brilliant idea. If it was successful it would serve to smack the Dem senate into line.
The balance of those who was put before the senate would pass.. or pass with less difficulty.

Yes Spector needs to be shunted off to the head of NTSA or something. He must NOT take chairmanship of Justice. in the senate. It carries responsibilities he can not fulfill.

Specter wrote: "A court dominated by Bork’s intellect with three similarly disposed new appointees plus Rehnquist and Scalia could adopt original intent and weaken or even reject judicial review. I concluded that the country couldn’t take that risk."

This is going to be a problem for President Bush. Original Intent. That's the only way to see the Constitution in my opinion. Specter is a danger to the Republic.

Well, one problem in getting the leadership (and even the White House) to weigh in against Specter getting the chairmanship---and using his "too liberal" nature as a main reason---is it completely and totally flies in the face of all the nice things Rick Santorum, Pres. Bush and all national GOPers had to say about Arlen just 7 months ago.

In other words, how could the guy be the right choice for conservatives in the Penn. GOP in their primaries but the wrong choice for conservatives when it comes to the bipartisan US Senate Judiciary committee.

Doesn't compute, does it?

[SouthTexas]

To U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist with copies to Republican Senators: Dear Senator: The GOP's increased edge in the U.S. Senate will not break the unconstitutional four-year blockade against President George W. Bush's God-honoring, pro-life nominees if Sen. Arlen Specter is allowed to chair the Judicial Committee. I am calling on you to stop this Republican in name only from continuing the Democrats' unethical and illegal stone wall that has kept the President's nominees off the federal bench, ultimately blocking them from reaching the U.S. Supreme Court. Upon re-election, Specter immediately broke his promise not to continue the Democrats' obstruction as the new chairman. The day after the election, he brazenly and bluntly warned the President not to bring any God-honoring, pro-life nominees before HIS committee....

We must contact the conservative media in addition to contacting the politicians. They both feed off of the other.

Keep up the pressure...we will hit critical mass if we keep pushing.

[ApesForEvolution]

If the GOP wants to go back to taking it the a** from a RINO, screwing America with him, then I must once again pull out the Stupid Party label and affix it on the GOP.

[thingumbob]

My hope is that the only thing Arlen spec-tator (spud) gets to Chair.......

Is the Toilet during break time.......

[conservativecorner]

Here's praying that the Republican Caucus will kick Mr. Liberal from the chairmanship.

[Alberta's Child]

I'm gonna be real blunt here. I didn't have much to say about this guy during his primary battle because I don't live in Pennsylvania, but it is clear to me that Toomey's supporters were right on the money.

This @sshole should have been dumped by the GOP when they had the chance.
