Can you say Supreme Court Justices Roberts and Alito, which Specter pushed through as part of the deal with Santorum?
First time I have heard this. Please, more information!
"Santorum says he is proud of backing Specter because in 2005 and 2006 Specter, as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, shepherded the confirmations of Judge John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Thats a fair enough defense, and Specter in fact did a fine job on those hearings. Remember how he interjected, Senator Kennedy, let the judge answer the question. When Arlen Specter is on your side, he can be very effective."
The reason I endorsed Arlen Specter is because we were going to have two Supreme Court nominees coming up, said Santorum. I got a commitment from Arlen Specter that no matter who George W. Bush would nominate, he would support that nominee.
