Supreme Court justice Hillary Clinton??

[newmajority]

I've heard this theory kicked around before, but a caller on Randi's show just brought this up. Does anyone think this might be a good way to get Hillary to give up this crusade against the Democratic party?

And second question - could we trust her on the Supreme Court? The caller suggested that her "inner Liberal" might come out on the bench if she was free of the DLC and the lobbyists, but that presupposes that she HAS a "inner Liberal" in the first place, which I'm not so sure of.

What do you all think?

[marylanddem]

1. I just hope she and Bill go away

I'm so tired of their lying faces.

[npincus]

2. not a bad thought, but she'd better keep her distance from Clarence.

[BOSSHOG]

3. I think that

Obama cultists should burn her at the stake but not before they harvest her organs and then shove her ashen remains down a septic tank and then blow it up. Many of you folks are a sad bunch of human beings.

[newmajority]

11. Gee, thanks for the ad hominem attack, Hillbot

See if I ever try to propose a solution that actually helps your worthless candidate again.

[BOSSHOG]

12. Obviously

you've been too busy with cult mailouts to read my previous posts. I have been a General Clark supporter since prior to the 2004 election. Continue to do your damndest to alienate as many people as you can; great way to win an election. It won't work with me because I will work for and vote for the candidate of MY party, and my country is much more important to me then the likes of you who apparently don't give a fuck. You fail miserably as an agent of unity.

And I bet you are a just a whiz at proposing solutions.

[newmajority]

14. You're a Clarkie, and you call ME a cultist??

Oh, that's just too fucking much :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

And there will be no unity in this party until the Queen of the DLC abandons her losing battle. I merely proposed a suggestion that would allow her to do so.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go mix up some Kool-Aid and face toward Chicago for afternoon prayers.

[SoonerPride]

4. There goes Roe v Wade.

You think I'm kidding.

[northzax]

15. back that assertion up

what in her history implies such a thing? I mean I know she's an evil conniving bitch who should just fellate obama like everyone else, but what else do you have?

[Texas Hill Country]

30. you are friggin crazy

[Sparkly]

32. Oh good grief.

If you're not kidding, you're terribly uninformed.

[Maven]

34. What absolute BULLSHIT

Back that up or can it.

[Botany]

5. Why reward bad behavior?

Hillary has shown and keeps showing what she is all about ... Hillary.

[bunkerbuster1]

6. No. too old.

I don't want any Democrat appointing any SCOTUS justices who are any older than 45.

Nothing personal; otherwise, I'd be fine with Bill or Hillary (or hell, let the Freepers' heads explode, both!) on the bench.

[backscatter712]

7. I don't want her in any position of power - not even dog catcher.

She's proven herself completely unsuitable for any position of power and trust - she needs to take her $100 million fortune and her husband and have a nice, quiet retirement.

[karynnj]

8. She is a lawyer, but she doesn't have the judicial record that most

successful SC justices have. It's not just integrity and honesty, but she has no record as a judge. If you wanted to put a Senator there , I'll pick Feingold instead. (Also, why does only HRC get a present for being second.)

[RaleighNCDUer]

17. A record as a judge is not necessarily a prerequisite -

There have been justices appointed on the strength of their legal careers, or academic brilliance, who never sat on the bench.

Unfortunately, I don't see he qualifying in either of those categories, either.

Just as well. We don't need another RW corporatist justice.

[karynnj]

23. I don't see her as RW

I do know that apparently even being a lawyer is not a prerequisite - I'm not even sure if that is what she would want.

[Lucky 13]

9. NO NO NO NO NO - for many reasons. Here are 3:

1) She failed the DC bar exam at least once. Only the best and the brightest should be on the SC if you ask me. We need to have SOME standarads.

2) She lacks the moral character for the position. Truth should be an absolute. For Hillary, truth is a gray area and something to be manipulated for personal gain. I want her as far away from a position of power as possible.

3) I am beginning to really think there is something wrong with her mentally. She's gone off the deep end. She's ignoring the humiliation that she is already enduring. She's ignoring her friends who are slowly turning away from her. And I never thought I'd see the day when the Clintons are openly race-baiting and exploiting racial divisions. It's ego-mania and delusion in one.

[depakid]

25. Your post shows little understanding of lawyers

or politicians, for that matter.

[Lucky 13]

28. dupe

[Lucky 13]

29. Maybe so.

But I'd rather be too idealistic than someone who lacks standards.

[Upton]

10. She'd probably become pals with Scalia, Alito and Roberts

not to mention Clarence. I don't know, though I'm sure she'd be a stark improvement over the recent additions to the court, I can think of others I'd much prefer. I just don't trust Hillary Clinton and never will.

[AZBlue]

13. She's a racist Republican!

Hell no!

[blm]

16. I don't want ANY Closed Government protector on the Supreme Court - there's too many already.

This country isn't going to turn itself around until we STOP ignoring the importance of open government.

[hokies4ever]

18. Of course not

People always want to put politicians on the Supreme Court. It's always a bad idea. People already complain that Supreme Court justices try to legislate from the bench, so it doesn't make sense to put someone up there who would have a clear agenda on making decisions to further their agenda for America. The proper place for those people are in the legislative and executive branches.

[marimour]

19. Completely unqualified. It didn't work for Harriet Miers and she had more legal experience.

[crankychatter]

20. too pro-corporate - n/t

.

[Secret_Society]

21. I don't get this shit about Hillary not being liberal enough

Go to GovTRack.us and compare her to Obama and see who has a more liberal record. In the end, they are both good Democrats. We don't need to see if she has an inner liberal. I think it's clear she has an outer one if you look at facts.

[rove karl rove]

22. nah, but it's an interesting idea

She can find her own job if she loses, and she lacks the "judical temperament".

[book_worm]

24. maybe NY State dog catcher?

just kidding.

[bhikkhu]

26. Does that job require good judgment?

[jakem]

27. because of her sense of fair play and justice?

:rofl:

[Sparkly]

31. How about Senate Majority Leader?

:shrug:

[B Calm]

33. Did you forget that she once was President of the Young Republicans?
