IF I'm not mistaken, Specter signalled on CNN that he has no intention of forwarding a statutory remedy to the question of FISA/NSA intelligence gathering.

Rather, he said this needs to get to the Supreme Court. So, not only will Specter not propose legislation that could put the Dems on serious defense right before the election. He's abandoning this important question to the whims of SCOTUS.

and I bet he very publicly files a "friend of the court" brief as head of the Judiciary Committee arguing that the NSA program is illegal (probably applauding the latest court ruling from the Carter judge).  This is all about his ego and feeling slighted because the President didn't ask his permission to defend the country. 

It's all about Arlen.

He knows he has a very short time left to live and he's very bitter that his legacy, to date, is as a laughing stock, boiled down to the "magic bullet" in the Warren Commission and using "Scottish law" to cover up for Clinton.

Truly sad spectacle.

#273, you have Nailed "snarlin Arlen" to a T,it is all about his monstrous ego,and the need for fulfillment. He will never have it,and he only has so much time to complete the task. He could fool us all,but I seriously doubt it. Freepers have this toad down to a science,and can predict his next move like predicting that the Sun will rise tomorrow morning.
