Hail to Specter

By Quin

I have to hand it to Arlen Specter. The man is undergoing chemo again, and visibly not feeling well, and yet he is fighting like a Spartan to spotlight the Dems' obstructionism on judges. His speech yesterday on the Senate floor was strong. I watched most of it, and read all of it. If I get time to figure out how, I will post all of it or excerpts of it here. But it was just the latest in a series of impressive performances by a man who really is going to bat on our issue. The problem is not with Specter, but with, dare I say it, McConnell, or with McConnell not due to his own fault but because he may not have, even now, the full support of the whole caucus. Either way, the GOP keeps complaining, but they never actually DO anything to make the Dems pay. They need to find something the Dems really care about, and THEN block it by shutting down the Senate -- and the Republican Senatorial Committee should cut national ads on the judgeship issue.
