Priority 1: Remove Specter from the Judiciary (Day 4)
11-6-04 | Always Right
Posted on 11/06/2004 8:11:17 AM EST by Always Right
Update:
Under the current rules, the way to go about preventing Specter from becoming the Chairman of the Judiciary is to have someone CHALLENGE Specter for the Chair. Hatch is term-limited and can't continue. Grassley is very unlikely to give up his Chair of Finance Committee. Senator Jon Kyl is next in line and seems to be the best candidate. This is where we need to concentrate on, getting someone to CHALLENGE Specter for the Chairman's role. We need to contact Senator Kyl to see his willingness and also contact other Senators to support Kyl in making a CHALLENGE.
Focus: Drafting Jon Kyl as Chairman - E-mail, fax, phone all GOP Senators!
I believe all this is decided when the GOP caucuses. But we still lack information on this. I have conflicting reports, they caucus next week, they caucus in the next two weeks. I believe the Senate is in recess until November 16th, but it is possible the GOP caucus in before then. We need understand the process more if we want to impact it.
Keep up the Good Work: We are being heard!
Watch out for Specter: Specter knows he is in trouble. Specter is going on the talk show circuit to make his case. Don't buy into his BS. Specter will point out that he has supported Bush's nominees. He voted for Thomas. He voted for Scalia. Of course, so did Senator Kerry and 96 other Senators. Like Senator Kerry, Specter wants to maintain the liberal balance on the court. They will only support a conservative judge if it does not threaten Roe v. Wade. Senator Specter says he doesn't have a litmus test. But just ask Specter what he would do if the court were divided 5-4 on abortion. I am 100% convinced Specter would pull out any and all stops to make sure a pro-abortion judge is appointed. The more I learn about Specter, the more I see that protecting Roe v. Wade is his number one priority. This is why Specter will do and say ANYTHING to get the Judiciary Chairman assignment. Specter is a snake, when he goes to pat you on the back watch out for the knife in his hand. Specter flat out hates social conservatives and 'strict constructionist' judges. Specter is a 'living document' guy.
Our Resolve:
Whereas, liberal Senator Arlen Specter is in line to be Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
Whereas, liberal Arlen Specter has a stated litmus test against pro-abortion judges.
Whereas, liberal Arlen Specter has stated he will fight against conservative judges
Whereas, in the past liberal Arlen Specter has helped defeat great judges like Robert Bork,
Whereas, the Democrats have loaded the Judiciary Committee with extreme liberals such as Kennedy, Feinstein, Leahy, and Schumer.
Whereas, liberal Arlen Specter is in a position to turn our huge and historic election victory into a defeat by killing the nomination of all decent judges,
Be it resolved, that we will do whatever it takes to get liberal Arlen Specter off the Judiciary Committee

He can't even begin to phathom what he's started -
The Whoop Ass can has been opened!
Signed the petition and gave a donation. Freepers' let's keep the Specter threads bumped real good.
Just like we did the Swifties.
I kind of doubt your buddies joined, but you can ask them.
Those GOP members of the Judiciary Committee will meet on November 17th to vote on their Chairman. Just 11 days away. We need to put heat on those members and have ONE of them CHALLENGE Specter. This is an open vote so everyone will know where everyone stands.
I just went over there to check, very few of them had enough sense to see what a chance this is to stick it to pro-life people.
Don't be proud that they agree with you, they aren't exactly smart.
I think that maybe Chaffee, Snow, and Spectre should be given positions on some meaningless committee until such time as they have proven they are an assett to the Republican Party.
Will do, first thing Monday morning!
Why did Dubya endorse such a SPHINCTER???!!!
I just joined... thanks for posting.
I think that maybe Chaffee, Snow, and Spectre should be given positions on some meaningless committee until such time as they have proven they are an assett to the Republican Party.Put them in charge of qa-qaa.
this is getting to be a big story even in the MSM (mainstream media for the lurkers, leftists and media types)
