He asks us this a few years after the Gang of Fourteen, Alito, Roberts and now the loss of the Senate Majority.
Timing stinks Arlen.
I'm curious. Do you now regret not doing more to push the judges through because it's partially why conservatives wanted to punish you guys last year. I only ask because I know how much you cherished being the one in charge, and now you must defer to Leahy.
I'm torn over this. I know we can't be petty to the point we screw ourselves from getting a judge confirmed, but I resent having to rally around these guys responsible for the loss of the majority because NOW they do something, or say they will, right. Specter on this, McCain on the war. I dislike them both, but now have to suck it up for greater reasons.
Yes, Specter, I'll fight for judges. I have for years. You're the one who's always been the question mark.

Specter likes being the bottom in their relationship, from what I can tell.
