McCaskill being mentioned as potential court nominee

[usregimechange]

Count Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill among those who could potentially fill a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court.

While McCaskill’s name does not appear on a list of six candidates being reported by The Associated Press, her name is being reported on CNN and elsewhere as having come under consideration.

The junior senator from Missouri worked as a prosecutor before winning her Senate seat in the 2006 election. She is also known as a staunch supporter of President Obama.

A representative from McCaskill’s office declined to comment on the CNN and other reports.

“While it’s extremely flattering and an honor to be mentioned as a potential candidate for one of the highest offices in the land for a lifetime appointment, Claire really isn’t talking about it at all,” said McCaskill spokeswoman Maria Speiser.

1. Maybe it would at least get her to stop Twittering

I seriously don't care what she had for lunch and who she had lunch with.

2. Great! Give the GOP one less Democrat to worry about in the Senate.

Who is running the show in the White House?
