Was it that, or that he would vote to bring him to the floor?

I think that he supports the nomination - the hearings being over and all. He is on a fairly long litany to justify his (Specter's) position with regard to the nominee in the final vote. He noted that some nominees he voted out of Committee and voted against on the floor. His talk now is not in that vein, it is supporting the judge, PERIOD.

Thanks, Cb. I was running around and didn't hear him clearly.
