Former Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter said his former Senate colleague Rick Santorum was wrong when Santorum recounted a conversation they had about judicial nominees during last night’s Republican presidential debate.

Santorum responded that he supported Specter because Specter was going to become the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, at a time when the most important issue before the Senate would be the confirmation of two or three of President Bush’s Supreme Court nominees.

“Arlen Specter as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, we had a conversation,” Santorum said. “He asked me to support him. I said will you support the president’s nominees? We had a 51/49 majority in the Senate. He said I’ll support the president’s nominees as chairman.” Santorum said every nominee Specter supported had passed “because it gave Democrats cover to vote for it and it gave Republican moderates cover to vote for it.”

But speaking on The Michael Smerconish Program today, Specter said he made no such commitment. “He is not correct,” Specter said. “I made no commitment to him about supporting judges. That would have been the wrong thing to do. As chairman of the committee I supported [Justices John] Roberts and [Samuel] Alito because I thought they were qualified for the job. But I made no deal.”
