Well, that ought to do it, thanks very much Spec.

Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) issued a short statement this afternoon urging his colleagues to "put aside partisanship" during the confirmation of Justice Stevens's replacement.

“Justice Stevens has made an historic contribution to the Supreme Court. He will be hard to replace. It is my hope that the Senate will put partisanship aside in the confirmation process," Specter said.
