What was the name of the black woman Clinton nominated for post of AG
during his firm term? He was forced to withdraw her name because
of the outcry from Republicans. She is a professor at Harvard.
I saw her on tv last night, but I don't recall much of the story
other than she believed in a different standard for counting votes.

The Republican outcry was so tremendous that I'm not sure that
she ever made it to confirmation hearings to answer the questions,
"whether she would uphold the law."

Yet, Ashcroft will be confirmed because he was a member of the
Old Boys Senate Club even though he refused to allow VOLUNTARY
desegration in St. Louis and even refused to let the League of Women
Voters register voters who were mainly black in the city.
