Frist knows our beef (probably painfully well). Call your Republicans senators. When they meet on leadership posts (next week), they can vote against extending the judiciary chairmanship to Specter. Here’s the Senate website. Call and email. (I’ll get you a straight list of all the numbers and emails just as soon as possible.) I think that transcript emphasises Specter does not have the conservative temperment or instincts to be judiciary chairman. Why, after yesterday’s victory, would the majority party put in place such a huge obstacle, just because of tradition?

Senate switchboard is 202-224-3121.
