Geez. Why is Santorum carrying "Scottish Laws'" water?
You know, I seem to remember Specter being pretty good at the Clarence Thomas hearings. As liberal Republicans go, he is certainly better than others. PA keeps giving him to us so we might as well work with it. If he puts them through committee and doesn't join the filibuster then so what if he votes no some of the time on the confirmation vote. That vote we cannot take away from him even if we toss him from the judiciary committee.
He's being diplomatic - it isn't his job.
Frist took him out, so to speak, today.
Anything else from Santorum would have been out of line.
Rick is carrying Snarlin' Arlen's water because Rick wants to be Vice President (the next time around).
