No worries- You had me shocked out of my seat!
Via Cloture as stated on What a big govt conservative looks like on Redstate; Liberty Counsel and Chuck Norris. So Took one for the team does NOT excuse the pious little fraud from his other votes and endorsements.
I didnt say Santorum voted against Bork..I said Spector did
Try telling that to Mark Levin and Rush
Santorum’s man...Spector did considerable damage..here is the fact and YES Arlen voted against not only Bork but other conservative judges..SPECTER’S RECORD OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS DEMONSTRATES A PATTERN OF VERY TROUBLING CONDUCT ON JUDICIARY COMMITTEE ISSUES
· Specter fought against the distinguished Judge Robert H. Bork, betraying President Reagan and his fellow Republicans.
· Specter voted against Judge Bork on the judiciary committee, and against Bork’s confirmation on the Senate floor. By joining liberal Democratic senators and radical left-wing groups in their opposition to Judge Bork, Specter gave those groups aid and comfort, and was instrumental in Judge Bork’s defeat.
· If Specter remained faithful to his president and his party, Judge Bork would almost certainly have been confirmed to the Supreme Court. Specter’s opposition doomed him.
· Judge Bork warned Americans that Specter does not understand the Constitution and that Specter, along with Senate Democrats “professed horror at the thought that a judge must limit his rulings to the principles in the actual Constitution.”
· President Ronald Reagan called the left-wing assault against Judge Bork “an unprecedented political attack” on a Supreme Court nominee and “a tragedy for our country.” Specter rebuffed President Reagan’s plea to support Judge Bork.
· Specter helped defeat the nomination of conservative Jeff Sessions for a federal judgeship.
· Specter warned filibustered appeals court nominee William Pryor that just because he voted for him on the committee did not mean that he would vote on the Senate floor for his confirmation.
· The “National Review” exposed Specter as “The Worst Republican Senator” in a prominent September 1, 2003 cover story. According to “National Review,” Specter “is not a team player…is an abortion rights absolutist, a dogged advocate of racial preferences, a bitter foe of tax reform, a firm friend of the International Criminal Court.”
Other way around. He is a muzzie who pretends to be a Christian.
