I really expect Specter to stab him in the back, but on the other hand, that might help Rick in his next election more than if he didn't.
You may be correct that Specter cares more about being chairman than he does about shaping the judiciary, but once he's installed and has the power, he will revert to his old form as always.
For everybody on here who thinks that Specter will be removed if he doesn't behave and keep whatever promises he's made, I have BIG BIG news for you ---- we are going to be saddled with Arlen and his actions until he retires or dies. The Republicans have already indicated they are not willing to fight one another or the Democrats.
Bears repeating 'cause you are absolutely 100% correct.
