With Arlan Specter running the show, there wouldn't be enough time to get a Justice confirmed during Ws term, even if a justice were to resign today.
Sure there would. Alito was confirmed in a few months, even with a delay. Bash Specter all you want, but he has been super in getting the judges through.
Seriously, you don't think so? Even if one resigned today? We still have 2&1/2 years before Bush is out of office, of course the rest of this year is shot, the RINO's will be doing all CYA work and nothing else.
sure there would, Specter did fine with Alito and Roberts.
