NOPE not by Clinton!
On the recommendation of US Congressman Saxby Chambliss, Land was NOMINATED BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH on September 21, 2001 to a seat vacated by Robert Elliot which was approved by Congress. Land was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on December 13, 2001 on a majority voice vote and received commission on December 21, 2001 [2].
If you think of that time period, between 9/21/01 and 12/21/01, President Bush could have nominated (and in retrospect maybe should have) absolutely anyone he wanted and that person would have been approved quickly with a voice vote.
This wasn’t a strong case from what little I was able to understand of it, but the opinion is just as bad.
