I heard Hatch on H & C say that very thing. He suggested to Slick Willie that he thought he could Ginsberg confirmed by the Senate if he nominated her. Bill said I will look in to it. The rest is history.

For the record, UH, I just heard Hatch say that he told Clinton that Bruce Babbit's SC nomination would get ugly, even though he'd probably be confirmed. Hatch also said Breyer and Ginsburg would be relatively smooth sailing.

Hatch did not recommend any of the three...he just let Clinton know which would be smooth and which wouldn't.
