This is Arlen Spector's last hurrah. By 2010 either a right wng republican will beat him in a primary race or a Democrat will knock him off. After 8 years of breaking down of what was an excellent Justice Department, Arlen and his cronies have some nerve challenging Eric Holder. Some people still remember that Arlen Spector was the lawyer of a murder er who escaped justice for almost twenty years. No one and I mean no one person can withstand this kind of scrutiny without finding some flaws. That includes Arlen Spector as well as Eric Holder.
