About Me:
Specter attributes his ability to chair the dignified confirmation hearings of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito to his previous legal background and experience in constitutional law. In earlier confirmation hearings, the Senator displayed unsurmountable courage both in crossing traditional party lines to oppose Judge Bork and in disagreeing with conventional wisdom to support Justice Thomas after dissecting the contradictory and highly-charged testimony.
As a consummate legislator, Specter has counseled compromise and conciliation in a Congress that already established new records for partisan discord. With regards to foreign affairs, the Senator has advocated dialogue and accommodation as an antidote to belligerency and saber rattling
