"Specter already added the extra week into the schedule so Senators cannot avail themselves of that delaying tactic now."

Can you explain? I thought the vote was on this coming Tuesday and any judiciary member had the right to delay the committee vote for one full week.

Yes. When he announced the date of the hearings back in November he said he wanted the hearings to start 3 Jan. He said since any member gets to push them back a week for any reason, he will do it now and we will start on 9 Jan.

So the week extension was last week.
