Specter helped defeat the nomination of conservative Jeff Sessions for a federal judgeship.
Specter warned filibustered appeals court nominee William Pryor that just because he voted for him on the committee did not mean that he would vote on the Senate floor for his confirmation.
The National Review exposed Specter as The Worst Republican Senator in a prominent September 1, 2003 cover story. According to National Review, Specter is not a team player
is an abortion rights absolutist, a dogged advocate of racial preferences, a bitter foe of tax reform, a firm friend of the International Criminal Court.
Jeff Sessions is now a Senator from Alabama ~ I wonder how the cretin Specter get along now? :)
