To resolve any concern that I would block pro-life judicial nominees, take a look at my record. I have consistently opposed any litmus test. I have backed that up by voting to confirm pro-life nominees including Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Justice Anthony Kennedy. I led the fight to confirm Justice Clarence Thomas, which almost cost me my Senate seat in 1992.
I have voted for all of President Bush's judicial nominees in committee and on the floor.
The current controversy was artificially created by incorrect reporting. I never "warned" the president on anything--and especially not that I'd block pro-life nominees.

The question is, can the GOP keep Mr. Magic Bullet on a tight leash...
One Word: Bork.
not a team player unless you are talking
TEAM SOROS
Bork Specter before he flushes a Bush legacy down the John
I think he's more a liability as a friend than an enemy.
Plus, if he considers Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Justice Anthony Kennedy to be pro-life, he has worse issues than I thought.
I am sure he is also kind to animals.
So what?
Problem is I haven't heard anyone else say he is a decent guy.
I'd just as soon have a rattlesnake in my sleeping bag as Specter in my party.
Mr. Magic Bullet?
He would do well to convince "Mr. and Mrs. Gunowner" that he won't turn on them.
The gunnies aren't waiting.
If one has to tell others that he is a "decent guy", he isn't.
There are millions and millions of aborted (i.e., murdered) children who would have voiced a different opinion if they could after being dismembered, smothered, burned with saline solution, ripped apart, etc.
Now is no time to be intimidated and blackmailed by leftist RINOs.
WE can make Arlen Specter think we are Attila the Hun.
If Specter joins the democrats, their loss would be our gain.Pubs need to be rid of this fraud.
Prior to his election, Spector was interviewed by two different papers and told them both he was pro-choice! This guy needs to go over to the other side! He is no conservative
Balony! He is just saying what he thinks is necessary for him to get the Chairman's position.
His original outburst was how he actually felt.
He would have been more comfortable under aerry Presidency as he and John Kerry have more in common than he and President Bush do.
To wit: Abortion, gay marriage, defending terrorists, depriving law abiding citizens of the right to own and possess firearms.
No, the cannot. Once he is in the position he is home free.
The Republicans need to deny him the Chairman's position.
Whatever he does after that is up to him.
If he jumps, so what, he votes against us on important matters anyway.
Oh so he was just doing a John Kerry impersonation?
OUT!
Yup, im with Hugh too. The media is trying to divide us on this and we bit hard. Let's focus on the 2006 senate elections instead.
