Specter staff asking DOJ for talking points to use during investigation!

1-4 page 21-22
From the big document dump:

Arlen Spector is no moderate Republican...he's just a Republican who is willing to be stage directed. Is there any honest Republicans left in Congress who can think for themselves?

I love how he voted for fixing the USA rider on letting the AG select replacements without Senate oversight...after he allowed that provision to be slipped into the bill.

This revelation will prove that the man is a two faced lying sack of crap, and I'm sure that the good people of Pennsylvania can't wait to give him more time to screw the country.

He talks a big game about being independent but as soon as the shrub cabal tells him to bend over he's off and doing whatever they want him to. I'm not the least surprised about this and don't doubt its authenticity, he strikes me as just the kind of guy who would love to let the DOJ write their own amendments.

IIRC he's also the prick that slipped in the little provision to the "patriot" act that let the criminal white house replace US attorneys without Senate confirmation.

I used to have a little respect for this asshole but it all went out the window when he started to allow shrub to advance Supreme Court and Cabinet nominees with zero oversight under his watch as the minimalist majority leader on his committees since 2002.

acting like he is working both sides of the fence and then goes down like a groopy chicken for the bushies when push comes to shove. Is there one Repub. that can be trusted? Nope, only worse than I suspected.

:rofl:

but absolutely despicable! Specter's a tool ... he presents himself as a champion of the Constitution and the rule of law just to run interference for his handlers. I've seen his performance, and been sorely disappointed, too many times to believe anything he does is genuine. As a Pennsylvanian, I'd like to see him join Santorum.

his fake outrage has become tiresome.

Is there a viagra variant that keeps your hypocrisy firm?

wonder if the Dems don't also consult with the different Depts too when there is a Dem Prez?

All I mean is, it's not necessarily bad for a Senator to consult with a Dept. on what their wishesare BEFORE proposing ammendments etc. I don't see that as wrong by itself.

Where it becomes wrong is when there is a conspiracy to coverup a wrongdoing.

having a conference to discuss the issues. The Dems certainly asked Clinton questions during his impeachment hearings, to be expected, but this crowd has a list of do's and don'ts, not discussions or explainations. No thinking required under those rules.

for a list of ammendments THEY would like. He needs to be recused from this debate now. He is supposed to represent the senate judiciary. not the justice department.

:grr:

"What did you know and when did you know it?" was, I think, the same question Baker asked over and over. He was pissed off when that came out, at the hearings with Baker sitting there. Very pissed.

Now Specter is voluntarily risking everything to help this madman.

If this is what it appears to be, and I'm not quite there yet, then it's time for him to resign.

This is malfeasance!

or am i mistaken?

term in 2010. We should field a top grade candidate to take him out.
