Arlen Specter Lashes Out At Alito and Roberts Before He Leaves Town

Sigh

Ann Althouse has
Arlen Specter accuses John Roberts and Samuel Alito of violating the oath they took at their confirmation hearings.

I have watched Arlen Specter for years in this confirmation hearings and this is his constant rant. If Congress says it's true it must be. Further we have the power to do about anything we want!!

I am all for deference to Congress on fact finding. That is their role. However that does not mean a blank slate on everything!! Both Alito and Roberts have given HUGE deference to Congress when it was clear they were not buying the "facts" See the case dealing with the Voting Rights Act this past year.
