Santorum
Earlier this week Arlen Specter, in line to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a post-election news conference that he thought the Senate would be unlikely to approve "judges who would change the right of a woman to choose." He also strongly suggested he knows more than has been reported about CJ Rehnquist's cancer, and implied that there will soon be a vacancy.

Specter also, while besmirching the reputations of the current bench, implied that he himself would make a great Supreme Court judge.
His ego will be his undoing. As I said yesterday, watch him flip affiliation to "I"

It will be interesting to see if this is an isolated event, or the first of many fights within the Republican party. For example, it's easy to imagine deficit hawks refusing to support the administration's campaign promises without a plan to pay for them.
