Carney on Specter

Excellent piece by Tim Carney on the Specter situation here.

Word on the Hill is that the phones are melting down with all the calls. Emails and faxes are pouring in too.

The fact is that a Supreme Court nominations battle is around the corner and having Arlen Specter making critical decisions as Judiciary Committee chairman is a problem.

Although Kyl is an acceptable alternative, there would be something delicious about having Senator Sessions take the gavel. It was, after all, Specter who BORKED Sessions when he was up for a federal judgeship in Bush 41.

Ahhhhhh. A gal can dream, can't she?
