Do You Respect President Clinton More Than President George W. Bush?

In 1993, President William Jefferson Clinton nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the United States Supreme Court. Despite the clear indication that Ginsburg represented a clear shift to the Left from the Justice she replaced, the confirmation vote was 96 to 3 in Ginsberg’s favor. That means that an overwhelming majority of Republicans in 1993 voted to confirm a woman they had every reason to believe would hurt the Supreme Court if she were a Justice there. Yet they confirmed Ginsberg, largely on the notion that the President has the right to select his choice, and while an incompetent nominee should be rejected, they must support a qualified candidate, even if she holds opinions and views they personally dislike.The last line says it all. I don't know Harriet Miers from any other lawyer but I know who I voted for and it wasn't George Will (or John Hawkins)
How strange, that so many Republicans respected Bill Clinton so much more than they will George W. Bush.
