Specter has a question for Souter replacement

And, it’s a good one. Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter knows you go nowhere asking a SCOTUS nominee how he or she would decide a case. But, asking that person if he or she would grant cert for the High Court to hear that case? Different question, and a good one.

Specter said he’s concerned the current court has refused to grant cert on several cases related to executive branch power claims.
