Ditto! I'll vote for any rino if I think it can get a filibuster proof Senate. That's the goal! The the only way we're going to gain ground in the "culture wars" is by getting more conservative justices appointed to the courts. I see no problem with this in respect to Arlen. Or his place on the judiciary committee.

Are you serious? Do you know that he is pro abortion? That he is weak on the 2nd Amendment? Do you know what he thinks of conservatives and our values?

Take a look (it's posted here on FR) at his speech for his 96 presidential bid. He despises conservatives.

Take a look at Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Frederica M. Jackson. She's an example of the type of judge that he's promoted. She was opposed in her nomination bid by EVERY DA in PA.

Specter has already blocked one recent nomination (the name escapes me) and is standing in the way of another one now. Specter is not the man to chair the judiciary committee if we want conservative judges.

It will take at least 2 more elections to reach a filibuster proof majority of 60, but if we have RINOs in that number, we still won't be able to block a filibuster.

No?

You also need to look a Specter's past record. I would rather have a junior senator voting on issues that can be overturned in the near future than a RINO as bad as Arlen manipulating a judicial committee that will affect us and future generations for a lifetime.
