In the Nannygate matter of 1993, Wood was Bill Clinton’s second unsuccessful choice for United States Attorney General.[7] Like Clinton’s previous nominee, Zoë Baird, Wood had hired an illegal immigrant as a nanny, but unlike Baird, she had paid the required taxes on the employee. Wood employed the illegal immigrant at a time when it was legal to do so, before the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 made the hiring of illegal immigrants unlawful.[8] The threat of a repetition of the same controversy nevertheless led to the hasty withdrawal of Wood from consideration.[9][10] Janet Reno was later nominated and confirmed for the post.[9] White House officials said they were angry at Judge Wood because she had not told Clinton and other officials about the nanny, even when she had been directly asked. In her statement, however, Judge Wood said she had not misled the White House.[10]

“Kimba Wood why (does) that name ring a bell?”

She sometimes makes the news when her ignorant decisions are overturned.

Hired illegal immigrant and had to withdraw as Clinton's AG. I see she was named as the "other woman" in her then boyfriend's 1995 divorce proceedings. She later married him, but they were adulterer's at the time.

She was BIll Clinton’s second nominee to be Attorney General in 1993 but her name was withdrawn when it was learned she hired an illegal alien as a nanny. The whole matter was called Nannygate. After Kimba Wood withdrew, Clinton nominated that hideous harridan Janet Reno.

Note, she is an experienced Judge.
