As I am active-duty military, I am LEGALLY restricted from taking part in certain partisan activities. I do what I can with some of the local Reps. here, but I am very limited in what I can do. See "The Hatch Act" for details.
What then, are the dymanics that bring you to FR to discuss the political future of Rick Santorum? Specter, as heir apparent to the Judiciary Chairmanship, is fair game. As are the other members of the Judiciary Committe, Frist, up to and including the White House. But why pick on Santorum? Other than geography, he has no more in common with Specter than any other Republican Senator.
