Supreme Court Justice Bill Clinton?

Would President Hillary name Bill to the Supreme Court?

WASHINGTON (CNN) — It is a title that would be sure to bring either fear or cheer to many Americans, depending on your political leanings: Supreme Court Justice Bill Clinton.

That provocative possibility has long been whispered in legal and political circles ever since Sen. Hillary Clinton became a viable candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Now a respected conservative law professor has openly predicted a future President Clinton would name her husband to the high court if a vacancy occurred.

Pepperdine Law School's Douglas Kmiec said, "The former president would be intrigued by court service and many would cheer him on."

Kmiec worked in the Reagan and Bush 41 White Houses as a top lawyer, but said he has no personal or political "disdain" for Bill Clinton.

CNN talked with several political and legal analysts of both ideological stripes, and while several laughed at the possibility, none would rule it out completely. And all those who spoke did so on background only.

There is precedent for such a nomination: William Howard Taft, who called his time as chief justice, from 1921 to 1930, the most rewarding of his career. He was president from 1909 to 1913.



Hey, they do have a lot of interns at the SupremeCourt.

I think she's too saavy to ever do that. Looks bad nominating her own husband...Republicans would go to town on her for less...he won't get a seat, republicans will fillibuster his nomination...

and whether or not it was fair that it ever happened, Clinton was disbarred, and personally I think it smacks of bad taste to nominate somebody in such circumstances, something I wouldn't be in disagreement with when the manufactured vitriol starts rolling, and another reason I don't think Clinton would try this. bill doesn't need it, and they can find somebody who will do the same thing for them, who is more palletable to the republicans. They are good at making those kinds of consessions, unfortunately good.

I have a vote and I'm not afraid to use it!


"Hey, they do have a lot of interns at the Supreme Court."

Yeah, I'm sure Anita Hill has a lot of information on how that went with Uncle Clarence Tom.

Isn't her being a corporate whore enough of a reason to be against her?

Oh, wait.... that would eliminate 99% of Republicans and about 90% Democrats.

I don't think you can call her that. There's nothing "corporate" about her whoring.

I think it's more likely Hillary will make Bill the ambassador to some distant country. Probably Thailand, at his request.

LOL.... the 9% difference you speak about is just those savvy enough to con you because they have great PR departments that advertize when they give charitable donations.

Crooks and conmen on either side, distributed equally.

6ix- I know you're a cynical guy, but there are some Dems with (what I would consider to be) consistently good voting records: People who voted against the Iraq invasion, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act and so forth. There are a few- but fewer- Republicans like that too. Don't throw them out.

I thought just the fact that she had Vince Foster killed would be enough for most folks.
