The guy who backed Arlen Specter????
People with political saavy know how important pro-Constitution judges/justices are, and even people without political saavy should know it now, based on what’s going on the the SCOTUS re: Obama”care.”
At the time, I sent Santorum an email about being disappointed that he didn’t endorse Toomey.
BUT when I found out it was because he thought that Specter would have a better chance of winning than Toomey, and he wanted the Republicans to have the majority so they would have control of the Judicial Committee, I understood Santorum’s logic. Controlling the Judicial Committee is HUGE, because activist judges can destroy our Constitution and have already harmed it tremendously.
When the Dems have control of the Judicial Committee, they wouldn’t allow many of Bush’s conservative judicial picks to go to the floor for an up, or down, vote. And libDems especially do this if it is a conservative minority, like Estrada.
