OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today has this:
The Senate has confirmed Michael Chertoff as a judge on the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The vote was 88-1, with New York's Hillary Clinton casting the lone dissenting vote. If this story sounds familiar, that's because back in May 2001, Mrs. Clinton also cast the only vote against Chertoff's confirmation to a Justice Department post, and she did the same thing with Viet Dinh.
Chertoff is a former counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee, and Dinh worked for the Whitewater independent counsel's office. Hillary's string of lone "no" votes is, as we said back in 2001, the lamest act of political payback we've ever heard of--succeeding only in making her look petty.
But I'm sure that there is someone, somewhere with a special plea on Ms. Clinton's behalf that will claim this is rational or principled.
