Looks like Arlen Specter, perhaps predictably, is set to prove all predictions, mine included, of his independence wrong. He's now slobbering over Alito, pretzelling together rationalizations for his vote in Casey, assuring folks that the judge who ruled against the government's power to regulate machine guns was in fact just kidding, arguing that the pro-life movement's top choice is in fact pro-Roe, and generally making it crystal clear he's ready and eager to carry administration water on this one.
Gotta love moderate Republicans.
