Anyone remember when Arlen Spectre was praising her, suggesting that she become the chief justice of the supreme court -"It would be like a coronation!" he declared. Disgusting excuse for a republican...
Remember, it was Spector that guided both Roberts and Alito through the hearings, was incredibly fair and hardnosed when necessary against the likes of Kennedy and others, and voted for both Alito and Roberts in committee. So don't be quite so quick to totally condemn. He's a loose cannon, indeed, but in the case of Alito and Roberts, he done good.
