first of all let me add, that im a strong supporter of president bush, and i support *most* of his judicial nominees.
however, the white house has no right to be pissed at specter. they want him to rubber-stamp all of bush's appointments. that is not the job of the senate. if specter were to do that, hed be abdicating his reponsibilities as a senator.
He's not being asked to be a rubber stamp. He was the one who promised something to those that promised to support him. He went back on it. Also, bringing up judges that have already been confirmed is a ridiculous idea.
What's more important...politics or integrity? I guess we see which side you stand on.
Integrity would require standing by your word. Specter hasn't done that.
How so. He put his ideology and his values before party politics. That doesn't happen on either side of the aisle much these days. Thats integrity in my book.
