Spector actually did a pretty good job of refuting the Democrat opposition to Gonzales, he even quoted the positive remarks that the Democrats had each made. He would have been fine if he hadn't decided to repeat most of his argument in the summation.
Durbin is doing a crumby job. He had a hard time getting started after Specter had just debunked the whole Democrat argument. But now Durbin is hitting his stride, accusing Gonzales of participation in torture. Yawn!
This is Mark Dayton, not Durbin.
