Spectre's Lucidity

In Arlen Spectre's presser yesterday he straightened out a snarky journalist with this dubious question.

QUESTION: Senator, what kind of a witness do you think he’ll be, since you know him? And what does he have to do to win over people who are disappointed that he’s not a moderate, not a woman and not a minority?

SPECTER: What does he have to do? He has to establish that he’s qualified. I reread the Constitution on nominations and I didn’t find any of those requirements present in the Constitution.

Those three short sentences say it all. h/t PoliPundit
