I'm so proud of my senator Specter
Advertisements [?]
Senate Judiciary Committee took a vote on issuing subpoenas to White House aides.
When Leahy asked for the "ayes",
Specter clearly opened his mouth and seemed to move his lips.

He did not deny that his mouth might have opened during the call for "ayes",
but Specter denied saying anything, uttering any sound.

"The fact of the matter is that I did not say anything. I did not vote and say either 'aye' or 'nay'.
I just sat there hoping that it would all go away through negotiations," he said.
"Factually, I did not say a thing."

Specter refused to put Gonzales under oath for the hearing on the the administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program.
Specter was responsible for the change in the Patriot Act to make it easier to replace U.S. attorneys without oversight.
