I have to wonder how much he is being paid to bump the Senate's count one more toward an anti-filibuster majority. Just a thought.MoJo wrote:Sen. Arlen Specter announced today he's switching parties to enhance his chances of reelection. Pres. O has welcomed him with open arms. Hopefully his constituents will toss him out on his ear.

Re: Arlen Specter switches to Democrats.
Hilly Clinton wouldn't be seated now if NY hadn't decided to sponsor what I call a Foreign Exchange Senator in the 60s. Bobby couldn't run in MA because Teddy was running there and that wouldn't look good, so NY accomodated him by passing the stupid residency rule, and he beat Ken Keating with NY City votes. NY state has never had two "native" Seantors since then, including the Illinois transplant Hilly Clinton, who, by the way, is just another Chicago politician.TheArmedFarmer wrote:We were probably better off back before 1913, when Senators were chosen by our state legislatures. Back then, there's no way that people like Hillary Clinton would have been seated in the Senate. Maybe it's time to talk about the repeal of the 17th amendment to the Constitution.
