Here's the way to think about Specter:

Republican Senators who have been around a long time are afraid of the prospect of what a Democrat President will do with the NSA unless they are able to find a way to regulate what the Executive does ahead of time. Specter is just afraid of a Hillary presidency, that's all. Otherwise, he would not care. He actually has a good point, as I would not want Democrats to have full authority over wiretaps either.

Congress will just write a bill that brings specificity to the NSA activities, and that will be that. Democraps are just trying to make points with their base because they are broke and need their support.

As for being 'worn out', a good pilot should be expected to fly multiple sorties on the target before climbing out of the jet.
