Proof she’s a partisan? She was a political appointee under one Democrat and a nominee under another - so unless shown otherwise, I think it’s safe to assume she’s partisan. -- Hankest
But not safe to assume she's partisan to the point of
disregarding the law and all precedent, which is what is at issue
here. I can assume she's a gung-ho Democrat; I can't assume she's
going to give Obama every opening and every power he could
conceivably want. Not on the basis of one abstract.
If she had final sign-off authority on all opinions written by Bill
Clinton's OLC for 5 years however, then there is ample data in
those to determine what she'll do going forward.
