I really, really resent Specter "using" his cancer as a call for this embryonic stem cell bill...
He didn't get cancer until long after this was first discussed...and he is just pitiful as a Judiciary Chairman because he is too busy being "sick", if you know what I mean.
Spectre shoud be using his time to prepare for the SC nomination.
Instead he's trying to give Rehnquists (hasn't retired) job to O'Connor, attempt to blackmail the President to fund research occuring in the private sector that destroys life unnessarily as adult stem cells are arguably better, and looking into holding new inquiries on matters where no hearings are needed.
It's Spectre, and I expect this type of activity from him so why get upset? But he's too arrogant to realize that in a year and a half he'll probably have no use to us if we pick up enough REAL Republicans to make 50-51 seats.
