Revenge & Retribution
The U.S. Senate votes 88-1 to confirm Michael Chertoff to a judgeship on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, and also votes 95-1 to confirm Viet Dinh as an assistant attorney general.
On both votes, Senator Hillary Clinton was the only "nay", despite voicing no opposition during the debate on the nominations.
Six years earlier, Chertoff had served as the Senate's chief counsel in its Whitewater investigation.
Three years earlier, Viet Dinh had served as a staffer in the Senate Whitewater investigation and also previously served in the impeachment trial of Hillary's husband, President Bill Clinton.
