STOP SPECTER NOW--WE NEED YOU: Liberal Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, who bailed on the Supreme Court nomination of Robert Bork in 1987, is slated to become the new chairman of the Judiciary Committee unless you act now. We need you to call your Republican senator and make your views on this heard asap. Click here for the numbers of your senator(s), or if you don't have a Republican senator, call Sen. Bill Frist's office at 202 224 3344.
There is link on her to page to a list of Republican Senators' phone numbers. On her radio show she is urging us to call them.
Bork, Estrada and others should be nominated to the bench!
bump for phone number to call later
I called Frist yesterday and left a voice mail congratulating him on an historic achivement and urging him to keep Specter from the judiciary chair.
bttt
stop Spector ping
Sphincter was WAY out of line with his comments yesterday. He is NOT in charge.
bump
Too bad he isn't the same Arlen Specter who fought like a warrior for Clarence Thomas.
In other words, he's just invited the massive "machinery", if you will, that's been working effectively for months to re-elect the president and is still in place to turn its sights on him.
What an idiot.
Bob's too old now.
Freepers, we are SINGLE HANDEDLY going to do this!
You want to know the power of FR? THIS IS IT!
Take 30 seconds and make the call to Frist. (202) 224-3344
Take another 30 seconds and send Frist an email.

1 minute for the future of our country!
My e-mail to Sen. Chuck Hagel:
Sen. Hagel,
I have recently become concerned about the upcoming nomination of Sen. Arlen Specter as chairman of the Judiciary Committee. I was of course upset when I heard the first reports of Sen. Specter's remarks and ideas on who is a fit nominee for the courts. I understand that he has in fact "retracted" some of those statements, but he has not given me any confidence in his leadership abilities on such important issues. After our clear and convincing win in this last election it would be a shame to see our party back down and fail to rise to the Mandate that the people have given us.
So as to not seem to be just complaining and offering no solutions to the afore mentioned complaint I wholeheartedly suggest that Sen. Chuck Grassley would be an excellent choice if he decides to give up his post as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee for the greater good of the American people and our party.
Respectfully, you’re constituent

It is. And it is the same Arlen Specter that fought like a warrior to bork Robert Bork.
Justice Thomas was confirmed in October, 1991 - one year before Specter had to run for re-election. Might that have something to do with Specter's support for Thomas?
Specter just got re-elected. He doesn't have to worry for another 6 years, even if he would want to run again.
