- It's probably just a piece of fun speculation, but I think it will be signifi-
- cantly substantiated or disproven by the political bent of Clinton's next
- nominee.
-
- The more interesting question right now is that, since Clinton was fully aware
- of Baird's hypocritical disregard for the law, but decided it was OK and
- nominated her anyway, what does that say about his own ethics and respect for
- the law? Should he resign too? It's only the second day of his presidency,
- and people are already asking "How much did Clinton know?"
