Posted by Train Dude on Fri Feb 15 10:35:03 2013, in response to Re: Republicans Block Hagel Nomination, posted by bingbong on Fri Feb 15 10:25:00 2013. Lani Guinier was never nominated for Attorney General. It might also interest you to know that prominent democratic senators urged Bill Clinton to withdraw her nomination because she did miserably during the interviews.By the way - she was nominated for Assistant Attorney General From Wikipedia: "In addition, Democratic Senators such as David Pryor of Arkansas and Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts informed President Clinton that her interviews with senators were going poorly and urged him to withdraw the nomination.[7] According to Clinton's autobiography, Democratic Senator Carol Moseley-Braun of Illinois, the only African-American who was serving in the upper chamber at that time, also urged the President to withdraw Guinier's nomination.[8] President Clinton took the advice of these elected officials and withdrew her nomination, claiming he was unfamiliar with her writing and that he didn't realize that she advocated pure racial quotas as opposed to affirmative action, as opponents had charged. The charge was false; Guinier had many times explicitly rejected the use of racial quotas in her law review articles.[9]" So once again you are not posting facts. It was not the Republicans but it was the party of "exclusion" who sandbagged her. |
