Specter Suggests a Chief Justice: O'Connor
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
Published: July 11, 2005

WASHINGTON, July 10 - Senator Arlen Specter, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, suggested on Sunday that President Bush could name Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who is retiring from the Supreme Court, to the position of chief justice if it opens up.

"I think it would be very tempting if the president said to Justice O'Connor, 'You could help the country now,' " Mr. Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania and a pivotal player in any confirmation hearings, said in an interview on the CBS program "Face the Nation." "She has received so much adulation that a confirmation proceeding would be more like a coronation, and she might be willing to stay on for a year or so."

Sen. Snarlin' Arlen from my state is an embarrassment. We almost had Pat Toomey. Had Specter gone down, it would have told the likes of McCain and his 6 other wimps what is what. Specter should be ignored and the leadership should tell him to get with it. O'Conner, my rear end. The man is delusional. He is RINO emeritus.
