Specter and Judge Bork
The controversy surrounding Sen. Arlen Specter's remarks has led many pro-lifers to call for a fight against his appointment as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Others, notably Hugh Hewitt, urge caution and Specter disagrees with the way the now controversial interview has been reported.
David Limbaugh takes the debate back to Specter's opposition to Judge Robert Bork and, while responding to Powerline's Deacon, concludes:
So there is no question that Specter is unduly enamored with himself. I will concede Powerline's point that Specter has a decent record of supporting the president's nominees, but I am haunted by his proud participation in the borking of Judge Bork, whose worst sin was a firm belief in the proper constitutional role of judges. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but at the very least, even if Specter ascends to the chairmanship of the committee, this brush back he's receiving from grassroots conservatives ought to help keep him in check.
