Before the election, some political analysts said: "There would be a revolution inside the Republican party beginning November third if Bush wins the election". Now we can see signs of that so-called revolution. Senator Specter who is a moderate Republican and a pro-choice Senator who helped kill President Reagan's nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court and of Jeff Sessions to a federal judgeship, speaks out.

"When you talk about judges who would change the right of a woman to choose, overturn Roe vs. Wade, I think that is unlikely

"The president is well aware of what happened, when a number of his nominees were sent up, with the filibuster

"And I would expect the president to be mindful of the considerations which I am mentioning."

As CNN reports the important point is that Sen. Specter "would have wide latitude to schedule hearings, call for votes and make the process as easy or as hard as he wants."
