A phone call is better. The reason I say that is during one of our Freeps the politicians turned off their emails. I think a hand written letter, or phone call is better in the long run.

If he had not, I would have gone elsewhere to read it.

The Republican Party must become more responsible for who they let wear their name.

-"I want to strip the strident anti-choice language" from the GOP party plank.
-"Will you stand up to the far-right fringe that demands that legal abortion be banned?"

"...During the George W. Bush administration, Specter has supported most of the president's picks for the federal bench. In May, however, he forced the Judiciary Committee to send the nomination of Leon Holmes to the Senate floor without a recommendation ? an embarrassing setback for the White House. (As of this writing, there still hasn't been a floor vote on Holmes.) In July, he voted to approve Bill Pryor's nomination, but not before announcing that he might change his mind and vote against Pryor on the Senate floor.
This behavior is no surprise, though it would take on added significance if Specter were to become the next chairman of the Judiciary Committee, as he is now in line to do. Orrin Hatch of Utah is the current chairman, but he's term-limited in that position. Next comes Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who isn't expected to give up his control of the powerful Finance Committee. After him sits Specter, who has wanted the top job at Judiciary for years. "There's a lot I would like to do," he says, citing violent crime, antitrust law, and privacy as leading concerns. Several of his colleagues on the committee, however, are worried about the prospect of a Chairman Specter in 2005. "He could take the committee in a more liberal direction," says one of them. "It would definitely be a challenge..."

Ann, do me a favor and go on Hugh Hewitt's show. Hugh seems to think Specter deserves the defense that he was unwilling to grace Tom McClintock with. Hugh is actually accusing us freepers of "strong-arm tactics."
Get that, Hugh is sponsoring Arlen Specter, and he paints those opposed as, I suppose, some type of jack-booted thugs using "strong-arm tactics."

Specter helped Clinton get off. I hope Specter kept his blue dress.

He's been on the committee for years it would be great to get him off but at the very least he must not get the chairman's position no matter what.
The chair has absolute say over, who, what and when anything or anyone comes before the committee.
He can have them meeting on the day to day business and leave your nominees on a shelf lingering for years.
The President gives him a list but then it up to him who he picks to bring before the committee or not pick any. There is no time limit.

Who votes to place a candidate as head of the Judicial committee? Other members or the entire Senate body?

Beg pardon? That page says nothing about Specter (that I could see)
