| Assuming the WH asked Bill Clinton to defend the bill, will Hillary follow? |

This is a difficult question.
On the one hand, her support would carry a lot of weight with some (that's some) people upset about the bill.
On the other hand, it would be pretty weird for a Secretary of State to publicly weigh in on a purely domestic legislative issue.
On the third hand, she's the most popular member of the administration.
:shrug:
I would guess we won't hear from Hillary, but who knows... call it 60/40 against.

get involved in this type of thing. Not that she won't--I'm just stating tradition.
