From a June 10, 2003 letter on Senator Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) website:
While there are scores of Democrats whom I would hope you would consider, I am offering only individuals who either are Republicans or have previously been nominated by Republican Presidents. The candidates I would advise you to consider are:
The Honorable Arlen Specter, Republican Senator from Pennsylvania.
Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, a leader in establishing a liberal litmus test on judicial opponents, last year wrote Bush listing Specter among desirable Supreme Court nominees. If the president can accept George Soros's choice for the Senate, could he go along with Chuck Schumer's suggestion for the Supreme Court?
Contact Senator Frist 202-224-3135
Contact Senator Santorum 202-224-6324
Tell them in no uncertain terms that Specter cannot be made Senate Judiciary Chairman
Do NOT take "no" for an answer!
bttt
I believe Specter's health would prevent it. Dementia is just too debilitating.....
haha, gee, I wonder why W didn't go for this one...
Hey Chuckie: vote for Clarence Thomas for Chief Justice and you can have Arlen Specter on the SCOTUS. Deal?
That does it! I was skeptical about the rumor before, but
now I'm convinced. They actually DO believe Bush is an idiot! He should consider recommendations from SCHUMER?
Hah!

Petition to remove Specter as head of Judiciary comm.
Hell yes, chuckie, put him on the Scottish Supreme Court.
SPECTER TO SCOTLAND!
Chunkhead,
Shut up and concern yourself with the sexual issues you democrats love so much. Leave the important appointment decisions to the winners. Remember, a loser like you isn't relevant and shouldn't be making demands on the President against the voter's wishes. Go somewhere and watch HBO or Showtime.
Couldn't Bush appoint him ambassador to Zimbabwe or Iceland?
Ambassador to Scotland?
BORK SPHINCTER NOW!
I don't agree with all of AFA's stands, but here's another petition for the same thing:

That is right...
Beginning with the new Congress next year, we need to initiate a massive email/letter-writing campaign to Dem senators to stop their immature non-filibuster filibusters of Bush's SC nominees and let the process work as defined by the Constitution.
Bush won a mandate and he AND the spineless Republicans in the House and Senate need to start exercising their new political muscle. It is time for them to stop groveling at the feet of the Dems and start standing up and using the political power that we voters gave them.
This is their opportunity to demonstrate that they are up to the power we gave them on 11/2. If they won't do what we sent them to do, we can change the order of things in the next election cycle - mandate or not.
