In an interview, Arlen Specter makes this all look like pro-lifers (a minority in the GOP, he says, btw) trying to silence a pro-abortion Republican. If perhaps the paper had asked him a few tougher questions (instead of using the word jihad to describe his opposition), we would have gotten something useful from him.
Steve Moore, meanwhile, reminds us the Specter fight is about more than abortion–it’s about Arlen Specter not having the temperament to be judiciary chairman. And, on that note, read Andy McCarthy if you haven’t.
