	Arlen Specter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Specter won the election and was reelected in 1986, 1992, 1998 and 2004.
		Specter is notoriously abrasive, and earned the nickname "Snarlin' Arlen" among his foes on Capitol Hill and in the public.
		Specter, through a feud with Senator Harry Reid on the floor of the Senate, his position as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and his opposition to a new budget plan proposed by the Bush administration, has emerged as a nationally recognized figure from his previous, more taciturn role in the public eye.

	Concern About Arlen Specter Comes Too Late (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Back in April of this year, the liberal Senator Specter was in the political fight of his life when he was challenged by a genuine pro- life conservative by the name of Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania's Republican primary election.

		In the next place, should a genuine pro-life nominee be sent to the Senate, Arlen Specter would never allow him or her to be approved, and President Bush knew that when he campaigned for Specter.

	New Judiciary Committee chairman Specter lets critics talk more, questions Patriot Act
		Raising the gavel with a grin, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter opened his first hearing Thursday by allowing more criticism of the Bush administration than his predecessor and by questioning some of the Patriot Act's police powers.

		Specter wore a bandage on his nose from the removal of pre-cancerous tissue but was in good humor, accepting congratulations from numerous senators during the hearing.

		Arlen Specter promised to block pro-life and "extremist" judges appointed by President Bush, apparently contradicting claims he is making now amid fierce opposition to his becoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
		Specter, who says he joined the GOP in his first election race in 1965 because it offered more support than the Democrats, has a lifetime rating of 43 out of 100 from the American Conservative Union.

		"Arlen Specter is pro-choice the way Louisiana is French," says Elizabeth Cavendish of NARAL Pro-Choice America, which gave him a 21 on its 100-point scorecard.
		Specter is a flaming leftie compared to the newest Republicans on the block like Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma senator-elect who said that doctors who perform abortions deserve the death penalty.
		President Bush defended Specter in the Pennsylvania primary, saying he is "a little bit independent-minded sometimes" but "a firm ally when it matters most." I fear that's exactly right.

	Senator Arlen Specter - A Real Creep - Let's Get Rid of this Guy
		Senator Arlen Specter went from mildly obxnious to downright disgusting and objectionable yesterday when he had the audacity to suggest that the cruise missile attack on a chemical weapons plant in Sudan and a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan was a ploy by the President to divert attention from the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
		Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) said he, too, wonders about the timing - and noted the strike came the same day that news reports were quoting Clinton aides as eager for him to act presidential to distract from Sexgate.
		Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., was only slightly softer in questioning Clinton's air strikes in Afghanistan and the Sudan, insisting: "I'm not going to suggest ulterior motives," but adding, "I especially want to know the reason for doing it now.

	Power Line: A Middle Ground on Arlen Specter
		And I entirely agree that what Specter did, in warning President Bush as to what judges he may or may not appoint, and implicitly threatening to torpedo any who do not meet Specter's litmus test, was outrageous and unacceptable.
		Specter's lack of loyalty would be appalling even if President Bush had not helped to save the Senator's seat by supporting him in a tough primary fight.
		Specter likely will support conservative nominees, though maybe not always the first choice, as he has during the past four years and (mostly) before that.

	Arlen Specter: Cave Man at Pandagon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Arlen Specter’s approach modifies his earlier position that the NSA eavesdropping program, which targets international telephone calls and e-mails in which one party is suspected of links to terrorists, must be subject to supervision by the secret court set up under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
		Another part of the Specter bill would grant blanket amnesty to anyone who authorized warrantless surveillance under presidential authority, a provision that seems to ensure that no one would be held criminally liable if the current program is found illegal under present law.
		Specter is more of a lickspittle court jester wannabe, who briefly makes sharp (if not very bright) comments before doing his bosses’ bidding.

	Key GOP senator warns Bush on court choices - Politics - MSNBC.com
		Arlen Specter, fresh from winning a fifth term in Pennsylvania, also said Wednesday that the current Supreme Court now lacks legal “giants” on the bench.
		Legal scholar Dennis Hutchinson said Specter’s message to the White House appears to be “a way of asserting his authority” as he prepares to chair the Judiciary Committee when Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is term-limited from keeping the post next year.
		While Specter is a loyal Republican — Bush endorsed him in a tight Pennsylvania GOP primary — he routinely crosses party lines to pass legislation and counts a Democrat, Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, as one of his closest friends.
