Re: "Second, Sen. Arlen Specter, one of the few pro-choice Republicans in the Senate, was threatened with the loss of his judiciary committee chairmanship - unless he pledged not to block pro-life nominees for judgeships, including for the Supreme Court."

Wheww, man oh man is this this one Kool-aide drinking victory for the Pro-life camp.

Take the rosy colored glasses off, we lost that one. And unless something changes between now and January it is time to make the GOP suffer for the betrayal. The goal is the status quo. Roe v Wade stands and the GOP pretends to hold the Pro-life banner. Gag

You nailed it.

Not only that but while people run around thinking we've got a big victory, the liberal Courts are fixing to impose Gay Marriage on us just like they did abortion.

All of those large majority votes to protect traditional don't mean a thing to a black-robed Constitutional hit-man.

It's the liberal courts that's making the laws that are anti- Christian religion, anti-life, anti traditional marriage and anti- God anywhere even in the founding documents.

When they remove Him, by using another Constitutional baseless law imposed by activist judges "separation of church and state", then those documents will be useless.

The country the founding fathers envisioned will be separated not only from church, but from it's foundation and will crumble, which is the real intention of those that hate it.

"Take the rosy colored glasses off, we lost that one."

Very much agreed.

Status quo ... I fear you are right and the Specter chairmanship will be the GOP's way of excusing the lack of movement toward ending the abortion on demand serial killing.

No, we didn't lose. I've watched you post that viewpoint all over FR, but I happy to say you're wrong.
If Arlen had been blocked it would have been a pyrrhic victory. Arlen then would have been an angry loose cannon on the committee, causing all sorts of mayhem. As it is, he is a chastised chairman who has promised to allow the up or down votes, which is what we all have wanted.
In anticipation of the charge that Arlen is a liar, I won't dispute it. However, this is a promise he'll keep.
Just watch. The glass is half full not half empty.

See Cicero post #5. He's dead on, this is a critical time, and I predict that by and large, we're going to come out OK.

Dear Mark in the Old South,

Actually, I don't think the author is a "Kool-aide drinking" pro-lifer. If I recall correctly, Mr. Pinkerton is a pro-choice Republican.
