“Well, she defended them to a lot of individual Senators. The problem was we were facing a very divisive fight over an issue in which she and I had a fundamental disagreement, of which I was unaware at the time she was nominated.

She's one of the best civil rights lawyers in the country, and she's going to have a great career.”
