In any event, I think Hillary won't win tomorrow in Iowa. I think Obama might pull this one out. Iowans always surprise. Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! I did NOT authorize this belly writing! |

Supreme Court Justice Bill Clinton? Posted: 11:52 AM ET 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. Just another reason to fear another Clinton Presidency. The political system of our country is becoming inbred. Reminds me of the Burt Reynold's film Deliverance. Da da da Da da Da da Da da. Dueling Banjos. |

He's been disbarred and lost his law license due to perjury which is why he was impeached. Never happen. Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! I did NOT authorize this belly writing! |

He's been disbarred and lost his law license due to perjury which is why he was impeached. And none of what you said contradicts anything I stated. His popularity rating is irrelevent as to the possibility of him being nominated let alone seated on the high court. Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity!

Yes, he was! Are you thick? Even Nixon was not impeached. BILL CLINTON WAS.

As far as the Supreme court goes, there are no requirements in order to be appointed a Justice, but all have been trained in the law. Many Justices served as members of Congress, governors, or members of the President's Cabinet. One president, William Howard Taft, was later appointed Chief Justice. But Clinton, if nominated -- very unlikely since Obama beat Clinton tonight, Bill would have a rough time getting congressional approval. Of course this is all pure speculation. My point was more that politics seems to be inbred with Bushes and Clintons getting more than their 15 minutes of fame. And a President Hilary COULD nominate her husband. But I don't think she will ever get that far so it is a moot point. |

I remain sort of puzzled as to why anyone thinks that a new president of either party is going to "change" the political, social or global climates. No president has the power to "change" anything. If you want "change," then you must purge Congress of its deadwood, as Congress is the problem, not the presidency. No president can force Congress to accept or implement innovative ideas. As long as partisan congressional obstacles exist, it doesn't matter WHO occupies the White House. |

Not completely accurate Charles. If the President is from the same party as the majority of the Congress, then things can most certainly get changed. Even if it isn't necessarily the best move for the general public. Air Cold, the blade stops; from silent stone, Death is preordained Calm Chaos Forums : Everyone Welcome |

America will pull out of Iraq, just as soon as the oil wells dry up !!!. *Yawners*.....except noone ever shows USA or BRITS or anyone else profiting off of 'iraqi oil'. That slogan works well for the uneducated bumpersticker crowd, for sure! Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! I did NOT authorize this belly writing! |
