Right after I released my action item on the Corner, I got some information. I’m told that we’ll be hearing more from Specter today. This may be a story about the media. Specter’s office is evidently transcribing a tape of what was said right now. Expect a statement from Specter assuring that he has/will have no litmus test for judges shortly, I’m told.

Seems to me he’s gonna have to do a whole lot in that statement, though, to calm people down. If he warned conservatives at all about abortion vis-a-vis his position as chairman, he’s got to be gone as a chairman choice.

My continued feeling, this guy is trouble, does not stand for my values, judges is a key issue for our future, and an obstacle should not be sitting as chairman of the judiciary committee.
