Specter: "I not only voted against Bork, I led the charge against him
GrassrootsPA ^ | 11/7/04 | GrassrootsPA

Specter is extremely proud of his opposition to conservative Judge Robert Bork, and would stop another judge like him in a second.

From the Bucks County Courier-Times:

Specter said he does use his position on the Senate Judiciary Committee - a panel he will probably begin chairing next year if re-elected - to weed out judges who are extreme. He points to Robert Bork, a Ronald Reagan nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.

"I not only voted against Bork, I led the charge against him," Specter said.

BTW, Arlen Specter had Brain Surgery in 1993. Obviously, it didn't work!

"I not only voted against Bork, I led the charge against him," Specter said

"Snarlin' Arlen" can try to say that he "led" the charge if he wants, but the first virulent bloviating I heard came from Tubby Teddy Kennedy, not Specter.

I guess ol' Arlen just continues to solidify his status as a RINO.

Pat Toomey lost to Arlen Specter in the PA GOP primary by 1.5%.

Unfortunately, George W. Bush campaigned FOR Specter.

It can be argued Dubya created the margin of victory for Arlen Specter.

Let Dubya do the right thing and deal with the b@stard. It's the least he can do.

The Bushies support of Specter over Tommy was shameless and now Dubya is paying the price. Rove had a reason though I can't figure out what it may have been.

The sins you commit one by one come back to haunt two X 2.

"Rove had a reason though I can't figure out what it may have been."

He miscalculatedly thought Toomey hadn't a chance, while naively believing Specter would pay dividends. RINOs never pay dividends.

Ann Coulter is right -- Karl Rove is an idiot.

MESSAGE FROM LAURA INGRAHAM:


STOP SPECTER NOW--WE NEED YOU: Liberal Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, who bailed on the Supreme Court nomination of Robert Bork in 1987, and who ardently describes himself as pro-abortion rights, is slated to become the new chairman of the Judiciary Committee unless you act now. We need you to call your Republican senator and make your views on this heard asap. Contact Senate Judicary Committee members by clicking here and click here for the numbers of your all Republican senator(s). If your state is represented only by Democrats, call Majority Leader Sen. Bill Frist's office at 202 224 3344.

Do you realize if Bork had made the Supreme Court, Roe vs. Wade would have been overturned 12 years ago?

If he said this, I cannot support this guy. It's sad that a great mind like that of Bork was not allowed on the SC.

FReeper shubi made an excellent suggestion on a similar thread:

Tell the RNC and the Repub Senators & leadership that you are NOT giving ANY MORE MONEY to the Republican Party if they give the Chairmanship to Specter!

Spread the word.........NO MORE MONEY!

Catechism of the Catholic Church and what it says about those who support abortion

What does this say about Senator Specter?
