I'm not much of one to defend Specter, but read the entire story:

Arlen Specter: FISA Law May be Unconstitutional

Sen. Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter said Sunday that while President Bush's terrorist surveillance program is a "flat out violation" of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, it may be entirely legal because of powers granted the president by the Constitution.

"There is an involved question here . . . as to whether the president's powers under Article 2, his inherent powers, supersede a statute." Specter told NBC's "Meet the Press."

Another news service -AP?--quoted Specter as also saying the law may not pass muster when measured against the Constitution.

It's far & above just political parties. It is what these "bought & paid for" pols must say & do to keep their funding from the elites.

It gives Specter cover with his liberal constituents over the Alito nomination. This issue doesn't hurt Dubya with voters. It tells them that Dubya will push the law to the limit to defend us against terrorists. It's possible Rove asked Specter to keep this winning issue on the front page.
