Default The Specter of the Supreme Court

Check out this article. It's the first time I've taken a breath while thinking about Bush's SC appointments.
Quote:
"When you talk about judges who would change the right of a woman to choose, overturn Roe v. Wade, I think that is unlikely,'' Specter said, referring to the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.

"The president is well aware of what happened, when a number of his nominees were sent up, with the filibuster,'' Specter added, referring to Senate Democrats' success over the past four years in blocking the confirmation of many of Bush's conservative judicial picks. ``... And I would expect the president to be mindful of the considerations which I am mentioning.''
I wonder if moderate Republicans aren't going to turn out to be opposition party over the next 4 years.

P.S. - Sorry for the crappy pun in the title. Sometimes, one simply has no choice.
