Specter's 24 year history as Senator "PROVES" it. He promised to support Bork and then savaged him. And that was when he wasn't head of the Judiciary. As head of the "Judiciary" I cannot begin to imagine the destruction he will cause, and it will have nothing to do with whether he is "allowed" to, where do you get such notions?
I called Santorum's office, and they verified that if Specter wins he is next in line for the Judiciary and will get it.
The fact that you seemingly don't understand any of this and need it proven, reminds me much of Specter's "NOT PROVEN UNDER SCOTTISH LAW VOTE" during impeachment hearings and furthermore proves you are a Republican first before you are a conservative, IF you are a conservative at all.
You are unwilling to answer my question, unless the premise is proven to your satisfaction, which will never happen because you will continue to move the goal posts.
Therefore, our debate is over.
Your assumptions are incorrect no matter how much you care to holler otherwise. There are a number of ways we can prevent Specter from heading that committee.

The simplest solution to the problem would take a personal sacrifice by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R.-Iowa). When the party’s term limits on committee chairmen force Sen. Orrin Hatch (R.-Utah) to give up the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee at the end of the current Congress, Grassley will be next in line for that position. To assume that role, however, he would need to surrender the gavel of the powerful Finance Committee.
But, according to a Grassley spokesman, the Iowa senator (who faces an easy reelection this year) is unwilling to surrender Finance, which drafts all tax law and Medicare legislation. That leaves Specter as Hatch’s heir-apparent at Judiciary.
New Senate Republican Conference rules limit senators to eight years as chairmen. The only other time seniority is bypassed is if the senior senator on a committee already holds another chairmanship.
Hatch’s eight years expire at the end of the current Congress. (The few months of GOP control before the Jeffords defection in the 107th Congress are not counted against term-limits.) Grassley, who is serving his first full year as Finance chairman, is eligible to run his committee until after the 2010 elections.
The Grassley gavel trade is not the only way to block Specter, but it is the easiest and the cleanest. Such a sacrifice on Grassley’s part would become unnecessary, of course, were Specter to lose reelection, either to conservative primary challenger Rep. Pat Toomey (R.-Pa.) or to Democratic Rep. Joe Hoeffel (Pa.) next November.
Also, the members of the Republican Conference could make one of two rule changes to prevent a Specter-led Judiciary Committee. First, they could waive the term limit for Hatch. Alternatively, they could circumvent rules and tradition and skip Specter for Sen. Jon Kyl (R.-Ariz.), a pro-life conservative who is fourth in seniority.
A final option, more peaceful than either of the above, is that the leadership could talk Specter into taking the chairmanship of some other committee, perhaps by offering a spot on another coveted panel.
