I have been informed that Bush wants Spector in charge. I fear we are going to get a supreme court full of lightweights .

Not really. I asked the same question elsewhere and sarasota said; "Because he(Bush) worked to get him(Spector) re-elected in PA and because Brit Hume (and his All Stars) said as much last week when the story broke.".

Sometimes to get answers to hard questions you have to be "rough trade" in a DC park.

"...this may be the last chance in our lifetime to reverse the trend toward government by unelected judges..." Yup. That's why the battle over Arlen is winner-take-all.

Hugh Hewitt still holds to his position that Specter is there to stay, that he will chair, and that Bush will back him.

BUSH IS NOT BACKING SPECTER.
IF HE WAS, THEN YOU CAN BE ASSURED, THAT BUSH WOULD BE VOCAL ABOUT IT.
IN THE PAST ELECTION OF 2002, BUSH SUPPORTED SPECTER SO THAT HE WOULD GET A BETTER CHANCE OF BEING REELLECTED IN PENNSYLVANIA.THIS WAS A DECISION MADE NOT BY BUSH, BUT RATHER BY CARL ROVE AND OTHER POLITICAL STRATEGISTS. THIS IS THE POST 2004 ELECTION PERIOD. THE ISSUES ARE TOO LARGE, AND THE RISKS TOO GREAT...TO LEAVE THE DECISIONS TO BE MADE BY POLITICAL HANDLERS.
PRESIDENT BUSES SILENCE ON THIS MATTER...
SPEAKS VOLUMES CONCERNING HIS THOUGHTS.

Agreed. I already voted CP in Texas this time.
Next time..I won't be the only one. The Rep party can NOT be stupid enough to continue PC RINO policies like unlimited immigration, RINOs in charge of the Senate, and being weak on pro-life. They will not survive next election if the alienate their pro-life base. even if Hitlery is the Rat nominee, the RepublicRats in the party have to be held accountable if we are to EVER stop this crap..and that means withholding your vote no matter what the consequences and they need to be made aware of that.

Do not stay home in 2008. This is very important. The history of third parties is they either take the place on one of the major parties or the platform is absorbed. The GOP has been pretending to be pro-life so they will either fold like a house of cards or they will get real serious.
Do not stay home. Vote 3rd party even if you like your Rep. The best bet is in races that are expected to be unopposed. A few "upsets" and you will see a few Pols with pouty lips begging for forgiveness and Big Media screaming how this is a threat to democracy.

"Mainstream" is not even a fixed position. The more judges get away with overstepping the boundaries between the courts' jurisdictions and the areas reserved by the Constitution for democratically elected officials, the further into those reserved areas judges will go"....
Chills go down my back at that.
Thomas Sowell has my sincere respect. He posesses a clear overview of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Arlen Specter's relationship to it.
IMHO Larry Craig would fight for a conservative nominee.
Specter would continue to litmus label.

Freeper alert. A broad based coalition of pro-life and pro-family organizations will have a demonstration in front of the office of Majority Leader Senator Frist on Tuesday, November 16th, at 1 p.m. to call for Senator Specter not to be elected chairperson. The location is the Dirksen Senate office building on the corner of 1st and Constitution NE.
Whilst we enjoy our families on a patriotic holiday weekend, you can count on the socialist scum working overtime in the hellish holes of Congress to resurrect Specter's chances.

But the GOP knows that its natural supporters will stand with it in 2008 against Hillary no matter what -- therefore the GOP won't be that conservative on issues.
