Santorum says he cut a deal so Specter, the judiciary chairman, would support and usher in the confirmation any supreme court nominees Bush nominated, no matter how conservative. Specter denies it, Sestak made a stink about it. I don’t know if it is true or not. I would like to know what Bush says about it, if anything or if he was involved at all.

I think it’s true that Specter did a pretty good job with Bush’s Supreme Court appointments.
Bush himself went astray with his second candidate, but thank God pulled her. We got Alito and Roberts.
So, I think that may be true.
As I said, I continued to back Santorum back then, and was upset that so many people were persuaded to stay home and not vote for him. But it seems to me that his current conduct is another matter entirely. He no longer seems to have the principles he used to have.
