The so-called defection of Arlen Specter to the Democrats could not have come at a worse time, considering the imminent retirement of Supreme Court Justice David Souter.
With Specter's switcharoo, we are unlikely to see any possibility of a filibuster by Senate Republicans given the 60-vote majority that the Democrats now hold, should "President" Obama's choice to succeed Justice Souter falls short of the minority parties expectations.
Souter's retirement holds little hope, at least from a conservative point of view, of obtaining favorable decisions on the multitude of social and moral issues that are confronting the United States.
So, Mr. Specter, although you were never considered conservative by any means, your self-serving, arrogant attempt to save your seat in the United States Senate has done more damage to the cause of conservatism than you will ever know.
