Here's the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee making yesterday's talk-show rounds:
Senator Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, yesterday offered an unusual defense of Supreme Court nominee Harriet E. Miers, saying her critics had put together ''one of the toughest lynch mobs" he had ever seen.Hm. Let's review: We've got the Supreme Court nomination hearings of an underqualified Bush family puppet being publicly characterized by one of the players as a "lynching"?
"What you've had here on Harriet Miers is not a rush to judgment. It's a stampede to judgment," Specter said on the ABC News program "This Week."
Miers was being attacked by "one of the toughest lynch mobs ever assembled in Washington, D.C., and we really assemble some tough lynch mobs," Specter said.
Specter's remarks amounted to a tacit rebuke of conservatives.
It seems to me that this isn't the first time we've been down this road.
