I understand but forcing him out may be much worse for us.
We can't overplay our hand right now. We do not have enough power. Everyone is just feeling their oats over the great election. You watch, the moderates led by the Mc-He-gar troika will be out soon taking Specters side.
I don't quite buy your argument, but you may be right. I still think that we should offer him some other tasty chairmanship and give Judiciary to someone we can rely on.
This is more important than any other issue, to me at least. Whoever runs judiciary is going to be largly responsible for the shape of the USSC for decades to come. Specter is just not reliable enough. We need and America deserves a Chairman that is going to whole-heartedly support the President's agenda.
