Arlen Specter Says Quotations

I am very anxious to get this hearing into the hearing room, where we have a stenographer and we have a witness and we have orderly procedures, ... and take the proceedings away from the back rooms and away from the conference calls and away from the corridors and do it like the Constitution says it ought be done.

These tapes, which the committee will put on display, really nail down the case, ... It comes out of President Clinton's mouth that these funds, this soft money, was used to promote his candidacy. He says that. And now we know positively there's been a violation of the federal election code.

I hope that we'll have somebody who is modest like Judge Roberts says he is, someone who will promote stability so there are no sharp turns.

Mr. Rove, like every other citizen, is entitled to the presumption of innocence, and until somebody says that he's done something wrong, he ought to be permitted to go about his business like anybody else.

I'm going to listen to what he says and I'm going to respond to it the best I can,

When the attorney general says the force resolution gives the president the power to conduct these surveillances, I have grave doubts about that.
