-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.

The key word here is "help." One vote of nine is much more than that if it's the swing vote.

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.

The whole Whitewater thing, that morphed into the Paula Jones and Monica Levinsky
show, was hardly just confined to the administrative level. Ken Starr was a prosecutor in the Federal justice system, and his "starr" chamber proceedings were hardly administrative ones. Clinton wasn't good at covering up precisely because matters were already being addressed by the judiciary.
