This may be a head fake. Remember when Clinton nominated all those far left women for AG (Zoe Baird, Lani Guenier). Then when they were disqualified, everyone was so relieved when he finally got to Janet Reno, they let her sail through.
O’s staff has to know that all of Gorelick’s dirty laundry will be put on display with this nomination and that would not be a positive way to start his administration.
Gorelick may be pulled back and someone even worse nominated in her stead and everyone will be relieved.
These are the Clinton’s people. We watched them in action for 8 long years. We “read their book”. I hope the GOP isn’t deceived by this rookie move.

And I just read you beatiful quote and comment!!!
