SNIPPET: "Critics of Ogden had cited his history of representing the pornography industry in private practice. But one of Republicans who voted for Ogden -- Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter -- explained that despite thousands of voter contacts opposing the nominee, he was swayed by an opinion piece explaining the principle that a client's view cannot be attributed to a lawyer."

SNIPPET: "Pat Trueman, a former Justice Department child exploitation prosecutor, reacts to the committee vote.

"It's clear that the Senate Democrats want these radical nominees [to be approved], because it's not just David Ogden -- there's a couple of others that the president has nominated for high positions at the Justice Department," he explains.

That includes Eric Holder, already approved as U.S. Attorney General, and Thomas Perrelli for an associate position.

Trueman recognizes that the president has the right to choose his own nominees. "However, the American people, I think, are going to be upset to see how radical these nominees are," he offers."

I seriously doubt that Specter is that in to pornography. After all when your testicles are removed you tend to lose any interest in sex. And, there’s no doubt that after the Clarence Thomas hearings when is friends across the isle became upset with him for defending that uppity negro, they quietly took him into the cloakroom and removed his manhood. They did promise him however that the NY Times would hence forth call him a Senator with a Conscience and true Bi-Partisan!
