		Zoë Eliot Baird (born 1952) is a American lawyer.

	TIME CLASSROOM
		In the end, Zoe Baird did not need President Clinton or anyone else to tell her that her career as the nation's chief law officer was over before it ever got started.
		Baird also boasted an impressive connection to the Clintons' alma mater, Yale Law School: her husband is a constitutional scholar on the school's faculty.
		A transition aide recalls that the attitude about Baird's legal infraction was ''Everybody does it.'' As for Baird, ''she deferred to a political judgment that it was not something that should deter them from nominating her,'' says a lawyer who was involved in the process.

	Care and Equality
		Baird was a forty-year-old lawyer who had worked briefly in the Justice Department and a big Washington law firm before turning to in-house corporate work and rising quickly to become general counsel at Aetna.
		Nonetheless, Baird told the committee, she and her husband had had difficulty finding such help, particularly a qualified live-in nanny, which is why they had ended up hiring immigrants who had entered the country illegally.
		But, unfortunately for him, for Baird, for her nanny, for liberals, for women, and for the country generally, he was not focusing on the whole gender issue.

	Committee Grills AG-Designate About Illegal Hiring of Aliens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Attorney General-designate Zoe Baird, visibly shaken at times by aggressive questions at her Senate confirmation hearing, portrayed herself Tuesday as "repentant" and fully aware that she broke the law by hiring illegal aliens as a baby-sitter and a driver.
		Senators, Baird's advisers in the new Clinton administration and private lobbyists appeared to agree late in the day that her nomination had not been put in serious jeopardy but that getting final Senate approval may take longer and be more labored than had been expected.
		Baird is to return for a new round of questioning Thursday, but plans by Biden to finish the hearings in one more day were in some doubt Tuesday night.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Judge Kimba Wood: She's No Zoe
		When Baird's problems became public, Washington was deluged by phone calls in democracy's latest undemocratic innovation, whereby senators count the lights on the Capitol switchboard to take the nation's pulse (no one has yet though to calculate the margin of error of this sophisticated new opinion polling technique).
		Baird's case was a unique one: her lame attempts to align herself with working mothers by bemoaning the difficulty of finding good child care fell on deaf ears when it was revealed that she and her husband make over $600,000 a year and were paying their nanny less than six dollars an hour.
		Baird's nomination failed because she represented a quality the voters had begun to detest in George Bush: a disconnection from the very real struggles of Americans who lack six- or seven-figure incomes.

		Carter points out that Baird and her husband hired the couple on the advice of counsel and with the implicit permission of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (they notified the INS as soon as they hired the couple and they assisted the couple in their attempt to get proper documentation).
		Although Baird and her husband failed to pay Social Security taxes on the couple's salary, they did so because their lawyer had mistakenly informed them that until the couple received "green cards" and Social Security numbers, the IRS would not accept payment (Baird and her husband HAD paid Social Security taxes for their previous nanny).
		Moreover, the hiring of a nanny and a chauffeur was used by critics to paint Baird and her husband as part of an uncaring wealthy elite -- worse yet, a wealthy elite that evades taxes.

	Perspective: Do-gooders will wreck the Internet \| Perspectives \| CNET News.com
		In the December 2002 edition of the periodical Foreign Affairs, Baird argued that government's unique role elevates its importance as an institution for deciding "what public values need to be protected"--even when different governments do not necessarily share the same values.
		Backing up her call to action, Baird cited the results of a survey conducted by the Markle Foundation prior to Sept. 11, which turned up a 2-to-1 preference among respondents for government management of rules to protect people, even if that required some regulation of the Internet.
		Baird's bureaucratic instincts lead her to trust in the ability of organizations like the G8 Digital Opportunity Task Force and the U.N. Information and Communications Technologies Task Force to get things done and shape the Internet in a way that would create the most benefit.

	Worldandnation: Illegal hiring goes on, largely unseen
		In some ways, little has changed since Zoe Baird's nanny controversy cost her a chance to be U.S. attorney general eight years ago: People still hire maids and babysitters illegally and nobody is likely to notice unless the employer is nominated for a top political job.
		Since the Zoe Baird controversy in 1993, when Baird admitted she broke the employment laws, the government has made it easier for household employers to report and pay employment taxes.
		In Baird's case, it was the hiring of an illegal immigrant couple from Peru and the failure to pay employment taxes for them that led to her downfall.

		Attorney General nominee Zoe Baird withdrew from the Cabinet confirmation process last week, because she did not have the support of the Good Ol’ Boy network.
		Zoe was targeted, not because of her minor infractions, but because her Senatorial inquisitors felt insecure about what they themselves have done under Capitalist money-making values, and did not trust her to adhere to their code of “honor among thieves.”
		Nominee Zoe Baird was eased out of the picture using the excuse that her husband hired “undocumented workers,” referred to in the mass media as “illegal aliens” rather than “immigrants.” According to the newspapers, her barrister husband hired servants, nannies and domestic workers at a licensed employment agency.
