One final decision HRC would make as member of SCOTUS:

5 Anybody using the term “ass like the back of a bus” will get their tongues cut out.

With HRC on the SCOTUS we can look forward to:

1 Full pardons for real estate swindlers.
2 Legalization of cattle futures manipulation.
3 Blockage of any attempt to exhume Vincent Foster to find out the true cause of death.
4 Chemical castration for all philandering husbands.

Hillary can never remember anything when shes asked, how could she be taken seriously as a Justice like this? After all, she would have to base decisions in part on what history REALLY says, not what she thinks it says or has tried to change.

Obama would never keep any promise like that to Hillary. In fact I can hear him now, ‘That’s not the Hillary I knew…..’

If Hillary was put on the court, I’d have to rethink my belief in a loving God… At any rate, do you really think she’ll take that when she could run for President later? Let’s just say Obama turns out to be Jimmy Carter so she runs against him, like Reagan ran against an incumbent, only she wins this time because obviously Obama is a disaster…

And our golden boy Jindal is apparently only fool’s gold, so who are we going to put up there?

“Would it be so terrible if he did nominate her?” AND
“The question is, would she be more terrible than, say, Ruth Bader Ginsburg or John Paul Stevens?”

Yes. Yes it would be so terrible. IMO the question is WTF makes her even remotely qualified for consideration.

The mask of the Supine Court has slipped badly. Especially these last few decisions. Nominating Hillary would be the the ultimate f u to the citizenry and to the “supposed to be” hallowed institution. I have a hard enough time taking anything they say seriously now.

Our rabble rousers should make a big deal of this…

Either
1) BHO doesn’t deny it, and it’s a rallying point for conservatives, or
2) BHO says that isn’t an option, in which case that horrible possibility is permanently removed from the world.

I’d rather have an unknown liberal than a known one like HRC. What’s to say the Left can’t have their own version of Souter?

If she replaced one of the ultra-leftists, wouldn’t that be an improvement?

I don’t know, it’s all relative at this point I suppose. The fact that this is even being discussed is what is most sickening to me.

At last… a potential SCOTUS nominee with less experience than Harriet Miers!

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Both Clintons hobnobbing on the campain trail with Obama saying we need them? yeah. We need them alright. I hold them responsible for the lack of action on Saddam over the years and the slashing of gov’t abilitites which may have prevented 9/11. Just before Bill left office he pardoned what, 100 prisoner friends of his? unreal. Bad bad news indeed.

If you can sell a few pardons for millions for one moment in time at the end of a presidential term, imagine how much you could make selling verdicts for the next 25 years. Probably more than enough to make fund raising for Chelsea’s presidential run unecessary.

Let’s take up a collection and pay off her campaign debt if she’ll promise to permanently expatriate to France.

Is there some kind of race to put Democrats into the positions they are least qualified to fill?

Hillary’s proper position in the courtroom is “defendant.”

Obama’s proper position in government is “rookie trainee.”

I wonder what her ABA rating is?

With all of her social-engineering ideas, Hillary Clinton would use/abuse a role on the Supreme Court to legislate from the bench and be self-righteous about it.

Besides, with all of her failures to remember facts when tesifying in the past, how would her faulty memory serve her in tackling cases of weighty consequence?

Senatorial comity would prevent anyone on the Judiciary Committee from asking her questions that probe her suitability in any meaningful way. I’m not even sure if she knows what the Constitution says.

Exit question: She gets the spoils for being the longest-lasting spoiler of the Obama instant coronation?

You’re right, putting there would fire up the Repbulican Base for 2012, and for HER, it’s like putting her out to pasture….good move…

I wish Souter would retire and move out of NH. He makes me ashamed.

If we get him, we get her, and we will deserve them both, heartily, and for a long time!

The question is would she trust Obama to keep his word.

Considering that he has shown that he will use anyone and any issue for his own purposes then toss them away like a piece of trash I would think she would not trust him as far as she could throw him.

Besides, she is still in it to win it.

We get what we pay for.

As far as Clinton or another let me ask you all this….
Have you ever had a car salesman push one car, of the same model, on you over another? ‘Oh, but white shows the dirt’ or ‘red fades so quickly, but this blue one is jussssssssst
right!’. The salesman isn’t trying to get that blue one off the lot because he likes you.

I’d rather someone without the star-power get run through the confirmation process.

Dear God, no!

the great virtue of putting her on the Court is that it would remove her from politics

Don’t count on it.

Just look at the 5/4 ruling this past week. Two more liberals on the Supreme Court and they will try to take away the citizen’s right to bear arms.
