How DARE he try to slither out of this! Frist needs to be a man and either jump over Specter and seat Kyl or get him off the judiciary all together. Please keep this going.

In general, never leave malcontents in any position. Promote and support, or remove completely. Put people in a position to succeed, or remove them. Having a person who feels publically demeaned so much as in the room is poison.

In this case, a passed over Specter would leave a poisoned, vengeful RINO on the Judiciary committee. That might almost be worse than having him as chair.
