Senator Clinton Again Lone Voice Against Chertoff

By TIMOTHY STARKS New York Sun June 11, 2003

Senator Clinton yesterday stood alone in a vote against judicial nominee Michael Chertoff, who had served as an aide to Senator D’Amato in the Whitewater investigation.

It was the second time she has gone solo in trying and failing to block Mr. Chertoff’s confirmation to a federal post. [excerpt]

In 2001, Mrs. Clinton was the only senator to vote against Mr. Chertoff for the assistant attorney general position.

"Based on all the information she had, she did not believe he should be elevated to a position of such high responsibility," a spokeswoman for Mrs. Clinton, Karen Dunn, said.
