The Dems want Sandra Day O'Connor around as long as possible. There must be some issues before the court that they want her to decide, not Alito.

I wonder about that, too.

"Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter" was a Republican last time I checked.

Not a bad theory, that. I may want to wander over and take a gander at their calendar.

Ayotte vs. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.

It is scheduled for Nov 30. They want O'Connor to hear the case, and hopefully, delay Alito's confirmation long enough for her to rule.

Yes, indeed. There are two abortion cases up before the court, and O'Connor is more to their liking. BTW, Specter is also a pro-abort, so he's fully on-board for the delay.

According to Shepherd Smith on FOX Radio News yesterday, O'Connor WILL be ruling on some controversial matters during this time frame, including abortion.

Bingo! Parental notification scheduled to be heard in early Dec. Specter and the Democrats want to delay this appointment.
