"There is absolutely zero upside for her to vote for any of these judicial nominees."
I disagree. What is Emily's List and NARAL going to do? Pull her 527 funding? Without Hillary these organizations are dead. She can do whatever she wants. So voting for it with a wink and a nod to the lefties is good for business. She comes off as a moderate, which is the only way she has a shot.
I agree with the wink and a nod vote. In the end, Hillary will be able to claim that any change of Roe vs Wade is because of Bush's nominees. In the meantime, she can pander to the black, woman, and Hispanic folks as recognizing their accomplishments by voting FOR these folks.
