Race-Card Arlen. For Specter, politics trumps the Constitution on race.

It is nonetheless quite disturbing that someone who now wants to be head of the Senate Judiciary Committee would counsel his party to reject the principle of nondiscrimination because it might create some political bumps in the road.

Specter supports the World Court's jurisdiction over Americans in uniform. No way.

Specter's Chairmanship of Judiciary is as dead this week as Arafat was last week.

Specter is the lowest form of pond life.

I think SPecter should be encouraged to leave the party, join the Dems, and be THEIR representative on the J committee. That means one more REAL republican.

Not surprising from a guy with the lowest ACU rating of any GOP Senator.

If for no other reason that this, Specter shoudl not be allowed to walk the halls of power again.

Roger Clegg and his fellow racial preferences jihadists have done nothing but ruin any chance for a Republican to ever gain a decent percentage of the black vote in a presidential election. Let's just pick this scab again and run off the remaining 10 percent of the black vote.

You can't be serious,right?

Are you saying that there is no substantial support for ending preferences among blacks, or that the issue is a vote loser with the whole electorate?

If so, you're nuts.

I am concerned that back-room politics will bring him back to life, like some kind of Transylvania ghoul.

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. Just perfect for freeping!

Not unless we keep up the pressure. This weekend will be critical.

Let's be sure to call all Republican Senators, not just the Judiciary Committee members.

They need to ALL hear our voices on this.

Unless, we support racism, we will lose minority voters. We should also support higher taxes.

If I'm not mistaken, the Judiciary Committee will vote next week whereas the full Republican Caucus won't vote until the 109th Congress convenes in January.

If I am correct, there are two distinct battles, the first being on the committee.

It would be a horrible mistake to accept World Court jurisdiction. Already Supreme Sandy O'Conner pushes for it and she admitted that she is not about to honor her oath of office.
