The ignominious way in which Arlen Specter began his career in federal politics is what I shall remember him by, his defense of the hippie guru murder, Ira Einhorn. Evidently, Einhorn was quite a favorite with the rich and powerful in Philadelphia, people that Specter needed to help finance his campaign, so defending Einhorn, seemed like a good way to cultivate their favor.
The only good thing that Specter ever did was to thoroughly cross examine Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, coming close to accusing her of perjury.
Actually, Specter did say that Anita Hill committed perjury.
Specter was also front-and-center in killing Hillarycare.
Which is ironic given his later switch to the rat party and support for the equally hideous Ubamacare.
It shows what a desperate sleazebag Specter became.
