Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania's senior U.S. Senator, was elected to the Senate in 1980, is currently serving his fifth term and recently became Pennsylvania's longest serving U.S. Senator. He is Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and a senior member of the Appropriations and Veterans Affairs committees.

Senator Specter has been a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee since he came to the Senate. Now the Committee's Chairman, he has played an instrumental role in many of the Senate's most important issues, including the confirmations of Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. In early 2006, he presided over the nomination hearings of Judge Samuel Alito to serve as Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Senator Specter has also shepherded through the Judiciary Committee legislation on asbestos litigation reform to absolve what the Supreme Court once called an "elephantine mass" clogging our judicial system. Senator Specter has worked in a bi-partisan fashion to reauthorize key provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act, an important tool in United States' war on terror. He has also authored legislation to help consumers better protect the privacy of their personal information in the face of recurrent data security breaches across the country.
