Specter on the line as Congress returns "Sen. Arlen Specter’s move up to chairman of the committee that handles the president’s judicial nominees is on the line this week when lawmakers return to the Capitol to clean up the unfinished work of this Congress and prepare for the next one."
I can't think of a better person for the job. There are so many positive adjectives that can be used to describe the man but I'm going to pick just a few: honest, fair, intelligent, compassionate, and hard-working. These attributes are often anti-thetical to being in the Senate's leadership circle, so best of luck, Mr. Specter. You'll need it.
