From everything I've seen so far, she's getting close to a free pass. I always assumed shes be confirmed, but I also figured there would bbe at least 1 or 2 Pubs who would beat her up, just because they could.

1. They only attacked the Clintons back in the 90s to gain power. They agree on a lot. (nt)

8. Exactly - are they going to question the last 8yrs she sided with Bush and them on war?
She and Bill have a lengthy record in support of both Bushes on their foreign policy dealings.

Why does anyone think any GOP disagrees with how the Clintons have conducted themselves as they protected the Kissinger way for GHWBush?

I think Obama intends to neutralize the force of the Kissinger way by using its own past proponents against it.

I certainly hope he does.

3. Maybe, but HE doesn't have to be confirmed. I actually heard that
their NEW DEVIL was going to be Obama's choice for AG, maybe coupled with Ponetta. We'll see soon.

5. Very seldom if ever do Senators not approve another Senator.
That is the way the Senate works..

6. Historically, sitting and former Senators are the easiest to gain confirmation.
It's the exclusive club mentality at work.

7. The "John" from LA. being the exception. The look she gave at the end of his
babbling nonsense was priceless.
