Spectre was warned, and Frist was warned.
A leopard DOES NOT change his spots! After all, who really expects a career politician to keep their word?
Is there where we all say TOLD YOU SO!!
How on earth could he possibly justify that?
ROFL I can hardly wait for Gonzales to get in. La Raza anyone? I suppose the tired ole nags will be ringing their hands once again. Wish they'd wise up.
Can he do that?
He is TOAST!
Spector you are a FOOL!
good grief, what in the wide-world-of-sports is going on around here?! Surely there are ways to remove Spectre,,,, right?
Specter = treachery and temerity at it's best
Did the Senate Republican leadership make a mistake by giving the Senate Judiciary Committee chairmanship to Arlen Specter?
Yes (0) 0%
No (0) 0%
Too early to tell (0) 0%
I don't think he can even do that........what would the purpose be?
If he could do it, then every single committee up there could "revise" the work of the chairman before them.......stupid.
Look what I found at NRO:
SPECTER SLAPS THE RIGHT [Ramesh Ponnuru]
You may recall the controversy that arose when Elaine Jones, the head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, was revealed to have asked Ted Kennedy to delay the confirmation of some of President Bush's judicial nominees in order to affect litigation in which her organization was involved. Jones ended up resigning during that controversy.
Now Arlen Specter, in one of his first acts as chairman of the Judiciary Committee in a Republican Senate, is hiring one of the NAACP's top lawyers. Specter wanted Hannibal G. Williams II Kemerer, who has been the group's assistant general counsel, to handle nominations for the committee. There has been resistance to that idea, however, and Kemerer appears likely to take over other duties on the committee.
Perhaps Kemerer was some sort of dissident at the NAACP, and is not bitterly hostile to most Republicans and their ideas. It's always possible. But here's a friendly description of a speech he gave in 2003: Kemerer "roused the more than 150 people present to a new sense of awareness with a focus on the 'new racism' that is now prevalent in the United States. A racism that hides behind civility, persuasive code words and black faces." That's not very encouraging.
Kay Daly of the Coalition for a Fair Judiciary remarks, "I don't think Senator Leahy is calling Manny Miranda" with job offers.
(What the heck kind of name is that?)

I don't think he can do that, but I'm not sure
He thumbing his nose at republicans

You're thrilled, I'm sure.
All you have to do is look at AS's work on the Warren Comission. Mr. Magic Bullet helped perpetrate a major fraud upon the American Public. I am not talking about second gunmen, etc. Just the fact that the commission was never out to find the truth, but rather to prove a foregone conclusion. As a result of a completely botched investigation, this controversy has lived on for 42 years. If a proper investigation was performed, things might be different now.
I always believed that his political rise was a result of his manipulation of the Warren Commission. But more importantly he proved himself completely untrustworthy and the epitome of the pragmatic cynical politician that has done so much damage to the country.
Spectre is a RINO worm, like the other four or five. The GOP should strip him of all responsibilities and perks. Does somebody know the number of Rent-A-Spine, to be forwarded to limp-one Frist?
Alright alright .. you were right this time
Now instead of gloating .. how about we find a way to take care of this?
I guess that makes it official, and unanimous. Wondering if someone will be brave enough to vote that it was not a mistake.
