No, even the "Huge one" isn't always right. Arlen is a RINO when it suits his purpose.."Scottish Law"= Impeachment trial cop- out, "Bork coward" etc.

The Judiciary Committee is much too crucial to the future of our Republic to simply entrust to the judgement of one man or, in Spector's case, to the arbitrariness of another.

“In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” - Thomas Jefferson 1798

'Hugh is a very smart man. I trust his judgement.'

Oh really? Who the hell talks about 'putschs' in the context of American elections? He obviously thinks that there is something owed to someone who has survived several elections, yet I hear nothing about how Spector should honor or even consider his constituaency (i.e. ALL or freakin' Pennsylvania for a Senator).

OK, let's give Hugh Hewitt the benefit of the doubt, and assume that a seasoned Senator from PA would eventually come around...but, NO!!!! Ol' Arlen hauls off and fires a bow shot over USS Bush: Don't nominate any pro-life judges...and he did this several times , on talk radio, so his non-denials ring hollow....

I am waiting to hear how Arlen is going to repay George W. for campaigning for Ol' Arlen during the primaries...

Agree... Hewitt seems to exercise his intellect before opening his mouth. I think Specter needs to acknowledge that he has a role in the confirmation process to ensure that we get judges committed to interpreting the law and not creating it...

We survived "Snor'n" Orrin (Hatch) so we can probably deal Specter if he is willing to stand up to the Dem's over the filibustering.
