Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA)

will vote for the no-confidence resolution on Alberto Gonzales. Specter is the top ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

UPDATE: National Review’s Byron York:

The Republican leadership in the Senate is confident it can win a planned preliminary vote on a resolution expressing no confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. A vote is scheduled later today on a Democratic attempt to end debate and move on to a vote on the resolution. That would require 60 votes, of course, and a GOP source says, “I don’t think [Democrats] are going to get 10 Republican senators to join them.”
