There are two votes.
One is open and one is secret ballot.
The first is on the commitee and is open. The second is the confirming one in the Senate and is secret.
The votes on the committee and in the Senate are by Republicans only. The Democrats have no say in who we pick.
Please listen to this fact filled audio clip about specter the terrible:

I'm posting this on all the links about Specter it explains the power of a chairman and the ruthless man himself.
For heavens sake go to Concerned Women of America and listen to this clip about Specter and an explanation of the power that a chairman has over these nominations. If this man gets chairmanship for the next six years we will not get any decent judges.It's now or never. When you get there click on the new link about Judical roadblocks . Give it time to play. It's stunning.
