Washington (CNN) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, sitting next to her husband, former President Bill Clinton, admitted Wednesday night that she had played a pivotal role in his decision to name Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in 1993.
"I knew that of all the people who were part of the women's movement she was one of the key players because of her creative understanding of the law and her sense of commitment," said Hillary Clinton, who's a lawyer herself. She added, "I may have expressed an opinion or two about the people he should bring to the top of the list."
The comments came as the Clintons joined Ginsburg on stage for an event at Georgetown Law. The couple talked about Ginsburg's legal acumen and her path marking success as a young lawyer in the area of gender discrimination. But they also confessed that both of them have attempted the 86-year-old justice's famed workout regime with varied success.

Ruth Buzzy brought her own kneepads? Say it ain't so.
Don’t paint no pictures.
Creative understanding of the law?
You mean make stuff up!
Will she say who the successor is?
Legislating from the bench.
Democrat judges legislate, and Republican judges apply the existing law. This causes the law to drift left.

“admitted Wednesday night that she had played a pivotal role in his decision to name Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in 1993”
I wouldn’t put it past her - but she’s probably lying.
You forgot the “BARF” alert.
Altho, I realize it’s pretty obvious from the title. :)
“Democrat judges legislate, and Republican judges apply the existing law.”
Perhaps until pwned Chief “Justice” Roberts.
In other words she makes it up as she goes along.
She is laying claim to everything, trying to create a legacy no one even cares about.
BS....Ginsburg replaced a woman. Ginsburg didn’t exactly need Clinton for anything. BUT, we have to remember that th only reason Bubba won was because of the women’s vote.
Hillary Clinton also ramrodded Juddering Janet Reno into the AG’s post with shocking and disastrous results for all, not just the poor souls in Waco.
Her recruitment and selection of underlings and advisors has been spectacularly poor. One can only imagine what her cabinet would have looked like.
Great. A law ethics violator (see Nixon case), Hillary Clinton, had a pivotal role in getting one of the worst Supreme Court Justices picked and nominated.
That explains a lot and none of it good.
Yes, the woman vote that looked the other way when it came to how he abused women.
No because of mr. “here’s what ya don’t lahk”
Splitting the vote
As if we need another reason to despise this deranged, power hungry, tyrannical, mentally dessicated old washed up alcoholic hag.
Hmmm,
That FLOTUS’ insert themselves into the political process is assuredly not constitutional.
She played a role in Trump getting to name RPG’s replacement because RPG thought for sure the she-devil would would win the 2016 election and therefore felt no urgency to retire at an earlier age.
