What's up with some Republican legislators?

If people want to have abortion rights, let them pass a law or amendment for it. In the meantime, overturn Roe vs. Wade, and have the legislature craft a law that is acceptable to the majority of Americans regarding abortion. If it can't pass, it ain't the will of the people.

Duh? Political Science 101.

Sen. Specter, thanks for the advice. We will give it all due consideration. P.S. Remember who you owe for your reelection and get back in line.

Sorry, but Specter will have veto power as the new Chairman of the Judiciary. See post 11. Become active on this issue. Only the Senate leadership can stop this from happening.

I hope Frist can put this guy in his place. Bush needs to squeeze Specter, he has never been on board and this is too important.

Frist can take care of this.

Who would be a good chairman? Hatch?

To those who fought me back in April.

I told you this exact same scenario.

Would you rather have Pres Bush with 55 senators and Spector heading judiciary, or Pres Bush with 54 senators and Jon Kyl heading judiciary.

Most of you picked choice A, and bashed the hell out of me for it.

You got your wish.

To: joesbucks; All

PLEASE, GROUP, CONTINUE PRAYING ABOUT THIS MAN.

I believe he's a firece puppet master stoolie stabbing at the heart of the nation and the GOP and certainly at the heart of our beloved President.

Given the system, the only one I believe who can deal decisively and effectively with him is GOD ALMIGHTY.

I believe the man will be untold trouble unless and until God neutralizes him. Prayer alone can influence that, imho.

Specter is such a fool, as evidenced by him allowing the unicorn killer to be released on bail. I hope that one day specter, the POS will be replaced by a more intelligent primate ;(monkey). We did this one for the,"Gipper" as well.

Spector was running Michael J Fox/Stem cell commercials in Spector's name.

See post 11. Contact Sen. Frist. Don't allow the back-stabbing liberal to become Chairman of the Judiciary. Specter is in line for that job as it stands.

Get Specter out as Chairman of the Committee before he even begins his tenure. Bush campaigned for this backstabber against a very good man, Pat Toomey. When it came time for Specter to reciprocate during the general election (Kerry only won PA by 51-49), Specter just couldn't appear in public with Bush-Cheney.

The struggle continues. It's great to celebrate the victory, for a minute or two, then get back to work and make sure that Senators like Spector and Chaffee never rise to positions of real power. Let the Republican leadership understand in the clearest terms why they are in Washington and who put them there.

Compromise for liberals--as George H. W. Bush learned--is just one step toward total victory. They're down, now kick!

This is the thanks W gets for backing Specter. I blame the W people as much as Specter. W should have stood on principle and supported Toomey. I sincerely wish Specter would have lost. I understand that conservative Jon Kyl would now be the Judiciary Chairman.

Absolutely. Specter will be a huge thorn in our side. Much bigger obsticle than Sen. Kennedy and Sen. CLinton. This would be a disaster if Specter gets the committee chairmanship.

"The Republican expected to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee next year bluntly warned newly re-elected President Bush today against putting forth Supreme Court nominees who would seek to overturn abortion rights or are otherwise too conservative to win confirmation."

Demoncrats are allowed a litmus test to keep killing babies but Republicans can not seek the opposite.
