While this is rumor, Wrong…Very, Very Wrong, Part Deux describes how things happen in the Senate. It's about how Arlen Specter (R-PA) played Patrick Leahy (D-VT) to buy time in the committe so the GOP could get Diane Feinstein (D-CA) to vote for 5th Circuit Court nominee Leslie Southwick.
"Bottom line: Specter played Leahy like a badly tuned fiddle, and DiFi fell for a schmooze campaign because she was feeling like the girl who doesn’t get nearly enough attention at the dance. And what do we get? Southwick on the bench. Lovely. I contacted Sen. Leahy’s office about this issue last week — asking why a vote had been called if it was already known that DiFi was voting to pass the Southwick nomination through, and I’ve gotten no answer to my query as yet."
