I've already said here that I'm against this nomination. But let's be clear here--a sitting Supreme Court Justice can't help a president keep "his ass covered." She would be one vote of nine, and there won't be anything buried. Issues will be brought out in the lower courts, and dissents filed when the left leaning judges aren't happy with the results. Nothing will be covered up.
Clinton's attempted cover-ups were on the administrative level, not the judicial. He wasn't very good at it, of course, but had he been, matters would not have been before the judiciary.
