Specter did a great job of helping us get Alito and Roberts confirmed.
Yes he did. And he deserves praise for it. He would get more praise if he got more nominees through committee.
But he is carrying water, as usual, for the anti-American left, with his hearings on wiretaps and his "concern" for civil liberties, and his putting forth the Kennedy bill on immigration.
I'd rather have Kyl as chairman, who is next in line if Grassely turned it down to ramain chairman of Finance. We wouldn't have all this leftist crap and bending over backwards to be fair to Leahy, et al. Give me a Jesse Helms type anyday.
