What are your standards for concluding that she has "proved herself as
an administrator"?

Do they include her being constrained to have her law firm agree to
pay $22-million [sic!!] while she was its chair person because of that
firm's direct involvement in the money-laundering elements (though use
of that law firm's own bank accounts) of a Ponzi scheme by two of its
clients (who were criminally convicted and imprisoned for fraud)* and
then another $8.5-million in another case against it the next year** ?

Or maybe you're comforted by either her palpable misjudgment or (far
more likely) self-interested lying (cf., her characterization of the
president's intelligence) or by the president's weird assertion that
she won't change her mind (of course not, as if this former Democrat
turned Republican and Catholic become evangelical Protestant as a
history of not "changing her mind") and, as if this trait, if it were
true (that her mind is already made up), was not an inherently bizarre
and indeed unlawful one for a judge?
