This morning I heard the author of this book talking about the "selection" of 2000. It sounded interesting.

Hopefully, they'll get Olson!!

Olson by a whisker
In a surprising reversal of fortune, before relinquishing control
of the Senate, Republicans force a vote on the controversial
solicitor general -- and win.

May 25, 2001 | WASHINGTON -

Excerpt from the above article

"While Republicans
publicly accused Democrats of opposing Olson purely for his
role in successfully representing George W. Bush before the
Supreme Court in the decision that effectively awarded Bush
the presidency, they shied away from the virulent role the
Spectator -- and Olson -- played during the 1990s as a critic
of the Clintons.

Olson himself, writing under a pseudonym,
coauthored an outlandish article outlining the possible crimes that had been committed by President Clinton and Hillary
Clinton and how stiff the penalties might be for those crimes.

His wife, former federal prosecutor and conservative cable-TV pundit Barbara Olson wrote "Hell to Pay," the bible of
anti-Hillary books among the far right, in which she described
the former first lady as a woman "who has gone to the brink of
criminality to amass wealth and power."
