If necessary, we can bump Specter from the Chair and put Kyl in his place. If Specter has any questios about Bush's willingness to dump ineffective Senate leadership, he can go ask the junior senator from Mississippi.

As to Hoeffel, please remember that a vote on the floor of the Senate is not a vote in committee. Every Senator's vote counts the same. With Specter, if the votes on Thomas, Scalia, Rehnquist, and Bork are used as guideposts, then there is a 75% probability he will vote for a Bush appointee. If it is Joe Hoeffel, there is a 0% probability.

Don't be a damned fool.

Who's "we"? Are you having delusions of being a trusted White House adviser?
