New Democrat Specter Loses Committee Seniority The Senate passed a resolution Tuesday night that made Sen. Arlen Specter the most junior Democrat on the committees on which he serves. AP Wednesday, May 06, 2009 Arlen Specter's switch to the Democratic Party has cost him his seniority on Senate committees. The Senate passed a resolution Tuesday night that made him the most junior Democrat on the committees on which he serves. A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., says the seniority issue will be revisited after the 2010 elections. Specter is up for re-election next year in Pennsylvania. The five-term Specter serves on the Appropriations, Judiciary, Veterans Affairs, Environment and Public Works, and Special Aging committees. Specter had been the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, which is preparing for hearings on a Supreme Court nominee. A message left with Specter's office Wednesday was not immediately returned. foxnews.com
