Here is what Specter basically said. He will put them through committe though he may not vote for them himself. That's really good enough. We can't toss him out of the Senate so as long as he puts them through committee and doesn't join the filibuster then I have no problem with him heading the judiciary committee. He says we should look at his record on that. I think he record shows we can trust him. If I'm wrong someone tell me.
We are not talking about throwing him out of the Senate, although that is tempting. We are talking about him being chairman of the judiciary committee. We need someone there totally in sync with the president. That is certainly not Magic Bullet Specter.
