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.
Time to recall this bastard.
We may need to pull a Gray Davis on this guy.

I didn't even know Specter was a Catholic. Yeesh.
I contacted Frist by Email and got a return Email that he received it 5 days ago. I have heard NOTHING.
This is a case of ignore it and they hope it will go away.
RECALL TIME.
Cocky twerp... we need to Bork Specter ASAP.
It was men like Specter that betrayed William Wallace!
Which pi$$ed me off to no end, why Bush did that i'm still trying to figure that one out, I think Bush was just showing his Liberal side, or could he have been "paying back a favor" who knows?
I wasn't into politics back then. Why was Bork Borked? All because he was he conservative or did they concoct some story about him? I've seen him speak on CPAN--seems like a very smart guy. Who was the guy that was an alcoholic(?)--the name Hightower pops to mind but I don't know if that's correct. Was he a conservative too?
Kinda like the little head overshadows the big head. I remember the days, obviously the senator hasn't got it yet! Is Specter still a dickhead; the world waits?
I've seen several postings claiming Senator Sphincter is Scotish, however I do know he is also Jewish, While I don't have a bias against either, both Scots and Jews are stereotyped as being very tightfisted, what that means, I don't know but Sphincter should not be the Judiciary Chairman,period.
Where do you get your information? Senator Sphincter is a Jew. Please do your homework before posting. Thank You
He isn't, as I just let Salvation know that Senator Sphincter is in fact a Jew. So you can ease your mind somewhat.
Let me now speak from the heart -- about my vision of America's future, -- from the lessons of the past -- lessons passed on to me by the quiet example of my father, -- Harry Specter. Everything I learned about opportunity, hard work, and sacrifice, I learned from my father. A peasant in his native land. An American in this one.
You see, my father grew up in a small town in Russia called Batchkurina, -- in a one room hut with a dirt floor -- a hut he shared with his parents, -- seven brothers, -- and one sister. As the only Jewish family in the town, -- they were a convenient target for the slurs of the villagers -- and the threats of the Cossacks.
When he turned 18, he walked clear across the European Continent -- alone, uneducated and destitute -- and sailed in steerage -- looking for a better life in America. He found that better life, but it did not come easily. He would rise before dawn and work past dusk, -- earning a living any way and anywhere he could: driving a truck in the coal fields of Pennsylvania; -- selling blankets to farmers in the winter in Nebraska; -- and peddling cantaloupes door to door in the summer in Kansas; -- finally opening a modest business -- a junkyard in Russell, Kansas. Let me tell you something: A man who has walked across Europe to escape the Czar -- and the violent prejudice of his neighbors -- knows what America's promise of opportunity really means -- and he passed that on to me.

Yeah, it says Specter is not a "faithful Roman Catholic." As if that was in question no matter what his legal philosophies. He's Jewish. There's lots to pin on Specter but THIS is not relevant. We do not have a United States of Rome yet.
I believe Frist is another RINO, cripes, is there anyone left in politics that we can trust to abide by, this is a Government, by the people, for the people, they seem to have forgotten this, there are several more, Orrin Hatch is another one, Arnold, Rudy, A good house cleaning is what's needed.What good is a Bush mandate if he is going to waste it accomodating these Brutus RINO's? Bush should not forget the Conservative side of the party, which was very instrumental in getting him re-elected.
Why send that to me? First, I want to say I have been a moral supporter of Israel for 20 years, however, I as a Conservative could not, and will not ever support someone like Senator Specter, as he is much too Liberal for my taste. If he wants he can run on the Libertarian platform but he should never be allowed to run as a Republican, yes I know there are many Republican Pols. that have left leaning biase's' that is fine, but they are wasting their time right now, that the Country has veered to the right somewhat, not enough for many of us but hey, nobody is, nor nothing's perfect, but thank God for small favors.
