He's not only been saying the same thing for weeks he's backed it up with actions and votes. I suggest everyone read this very insightful article written back in April by Ann Coutler.

"Specter voted against a slew of conservative Reagan appointees, including Jeff Sessions to a federal appellate court (Sessions now sits with Specter on what must be a rather chilly Senate Judiciary Committee) and Brad Reynolds to be associate attorney general. But his epochal vote was against Reagan's nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court.
Liberals waged a vicious campaign of vilification against Bork, saying he would bring back segregated lunch counters, government censorship and "rogue police" engaging in midnight raids. No one expects more of Teddy Kennedy. But when a senator with an "R" after his name opposed Bork, it was over."
(Sorry boys, I know the rule about any post mentioning Ann having to include a photo, but I haven't quite figured out ho to do that yet. One of you will have to pick up my slack.)
