"Specter advocates having the Court adopt and decide social hot button issues, and has said so. THis is a popular approach for legislators becuase it gets them off the hook of accountability."
I this is among the many reasons that I am very uncomfortable with Specter as the head of the judiciary committee. It's not just his pro-life stance, it's his judicial philosophy.

As long as Specter votes to confirm Alito I don't care what he says.
