Hatch's story re: Clinton/Ginsburg has been documented. Those names were offered as ones that would not create a war. The point was; back in those days the President was ceded authority to pick almost anyone he wanted and get him confirmed.

To clarify, Hatch did not recommend Ginsburg, but reported that his committe wouldn't fight that particular nomination, despite her way lefty leanings.

Disgusting that given the opportunity to find a less leftist candidate, Hatch put his imprimatur on this evil woman.
