"Stripping away the drama, the politics and psychobabble, she’d be a great choice for Obama and the Democrats. She’s as smart and as qualified as any prospect her party could nominate."
Actually, no she's not. If Harriet Miers wasn't qualified for the Supreme Court, then neither is Hillary Clinton.
Miers actually had more legal experience than Hillary. Neither was ever a judge.
If Clinton was ever nominated and the same standard that was applied to Miers is in play, she shouldn't be confirmed.
But liberals will apply a different standard to Hillary, citing her years as a Senator and Secretary of State as somehow making a difference when compared to Miers even though those positions have nothing to do with being an effective Supreme Court Justice.
Wait and see.
This is nothing other than a ploy by Obama to rid himself of a primary challenge in 2012. We've heard Hilliary as Supreme Court Justice, and we have heard Hilliary replacing Biden as V.P. in 2016. None this makes any sense. Hilliary is savvy enough to see this for what it is. Hilliary likely does not see her political career ending as SoS. She certainly will not see her life fulfilled without achieving her lifelong ambition. 2008 was supposed to be her entitlement and some inexperienced guy comes along and steals it. The Dems rightly dumped her in 2008 as she is too controversial for a guy who was packaged as post-partisan. It worked well enough. But, what will they do in 2012, now that everyone knows that Obama, the post-partisan president is a lie.

Id like to see Hilary as Supreme Court Justice.

Hilary has to wear the vast right wing conspiracy in Bill's pants everywhere she goes. Would she wear it inside or outside of the robe?
