Specter says he won't slow anti-abortion court nominees

He's playing nice now that there's still a chance he might not be seated. But if we make the mistake of letting this sleaze-ball assume the chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary committee, I guarantee you we will not get a pro-life supreme court judge through. He'll find some excuse for blocking when no one can touch him--just watch.

Bork Specter NOW!

[swilhelm73]

Did he promise a middle class tax cut too?

[AmericaUnited]

This guy is a swarmy liar, PERIOD!

Re: "Sen. Arlen Specter, a moderate from Pennsylvania who backs abortion rights"

If Spector is a moderate I am the Pharaoh Ramses Queen of Egypt.

[festus]

Hey Hey Ho Ho Arlen Specters Gotta Go !!!!

[my right]

we need to send all these thoughts to Frist or Fist or Lott or whatever the hell his name is and see if it may wake him from a republican coma.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

One reply to Senator Specter:

BORK! BORK! BORK!!! BORK!!!!!!

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Oh, yeah... One other reply:

Scottish Law! Not proved! Traitor!

I'll just let the anagrams do the talking:

"The Republican in line to head the Senate Judiciary Committee pledged Sunday not to stall the president's judicial nominees even if they oppose abortion rights."

I want to help him keep his word on this by NOT APPOINTING HIM TO THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE! I never get to the question of whether he should be the Chairman!

[Txsleuth]

I saw excerpts of his appearance on Face the Nation and he looked more defiant than apologetic for coming out right after the election and issuing ultimatums to the President.

I noticed when he was listing his reasons for keeping him, he forgot about Bork. Unfortuantely Bork is alive and well, and talking on Fox. He, of course, was classy, but did say that getting rid of Roe V. Wade, should be a goal.

I think that you combine Specter's history, his post-election "threats", his defiant attitude now, and the fact that there were signs in Pennsylvania with Kerry/Specter on them, should make him "unfit for chairmanship".

Do you know what is the timetable for all this..The new senate has to have organizational meeting..committee seats and $$ allocations, and staffing..55-45 is a BIG advantage for the GOP..they get 2/3 of the money, I think..

[Brilliant]

I don't trust him. Make him put it in writing.

[Rocky]

Once he's in, there's no way to force him to keep his word. The choice before us is: Do we act like uninformed voters? The uninformed are prone to vote for someone who makes glowing promises without considering what they actually do. Witness the election and reelection of Bill Clinton. Conservatives, on the other hand, tend to believe that a person's prior actions are the best indicator of how they will act in the future. We tend to discount words that are inconistent with behavior.

I suggest we continue to discount Specter's words. They are inconsistent with his prior actions.

[nothingnew]

The White House expressed confidence its choices would get a fair hearing.

I have updated my FMCDH (From My Cold Dead Hands) sign-off with the addition of (BITS).....Blood In The Streets, which I foresee coming soon, due to the enormous increase of the Marxist progressive movement being shoved down the throat of this failing REPUBLIC through the Judicial tyranny of fiat law, the passing of unconstitutional laws by the Legislative and Executive branches of our government and the enormous tax burden placed upon the average American to support unconstitutional programs put forth by Marxist ideology.

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

Specter, get out of the chairmanship....... get out of the committee.......... and get out of my party.

As a Republican you are "NOT PROVED".

[Quix]

And, if we believe that, he probably has a NYC bridge for sale.

Or perhaps he'll try and convince us that he's BORN AGAIN.

Sigh.
