I’m so used to Arlen Specter pulling away the football at the last second, and yet, I have this nagging feeling (wishful thinking?) he might actually do something this time. I’m not betting money or anything, but you never know:
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) plans to review the Senate testimony of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel A. Alito to determine if their reversal of several long-standing opinions conflicts with promises they made to senators to win confirmation.
Specter, who championed their confirmation, said Tuesday he will personally re-examine the testimony to see if their actions in court match what they told the Senate.
UPDATE: Arghhhhhhh…..
Oh, I saw this one!
Hilarious and SO precious. Arlen wants a mulligan.
Remember how smug he was wrt to the military commissions act of 2006? “It’s patently unconstitutional but I voted for it anyway because the courts will work it out”. HAHA.
Or hey, how about the “no pro-life justices” before voting for both these schmucks. How’s that working out for you Arlen, you fucking idiot?
Mulligan. I’ll give that snarling old cod a mulligan.

That’s interesting, but it’s most likely just
grandstanding.
What can Specter do at this point anyway?
