VIDEO: Specter says he’ll get seniority in ‘due course’

Looks like the showdown brewing between Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) over the terms of Specter’s switch to the Democratic Party is only getting more heated.

On Wednesday, a day after the Senate voted to strip Specter of his seniority, Specter said he expects to receive his seniority in “due course,” which presumably means after the next election. Here’s the video, from CNN per Talking Points Memo.
