Arlen Specter Strikes Again As the Senate Judiciary Committee began confirmation hearings today for President Bush's nominee Judge John Roberts, Pennsylvania Republican Senator and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter flaunted his true colors as he wasted no time in directing questions geared at smoking out Judge Roberts' views on privacy and abortion. To aid his efforts for re-election, Specter seemed willing to soften his view on these issues when it came to judiciary nominations. It now appears as though this was simply a ploy to obtain the votes of loyal Republican voters who had grown weary of Specter's liberal ways. Let this be a lesson to us; regardless of who throws his hat in Arlen Specter's ring, Specter cannot be trusted to represent the values that most conservatives so dearly espouse. Both President Bush and Senator Santorum have disappointed us by casting their support Specter's way.
