Justice Clinton? (William Jefferson Clinton)

Hillary Clinton's commanding lead in the polls has diminished, and with Oprah Winfrey stumping for Barack Obama, she's called increasingly on the "star power" of husband Bill. But the ubiquitous presence of the former president on the campaign prompts a question: What will Hillary do with Bill if she is elected?

[airborne]

Never happen. Ever.

[proudpapa]

Has anyone been impeached gone to serve on the Supreme Court?

[Theodore R.]

If so, Orrin G. Hatch will cosponsor the nomination! Thanks a lot, Utah!

[RetiredArmy]

Errr, wasn’t he disbarred. So, even if he got back his license, I would think that he would not pass the fit deal. I just cannot see this guy ever getting passed to be a supreme court justice. A SCJ has to show up for work every day. Slick would want way too much party time off.

[TheBattman]

Do you have to have a law license to be a justice?

[Old Sarge]

Hillary the InEVITAble, and the Shadow President.

Behold the future the American People want.

> Never happen. Ever.

Don't say that too loud.

[OCC]

I thought Hillary already said she would appoint him World Ambassador or something.

[DogandPonyShow]

THANKS A LOT FOR THE NEW NIGHTMARE MATERIAL!!!!

ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

[dayglored]

> Do you have to have a law license to be a justice?

I don't think it's a formal requirement, but certainly, being disbarred would not look good on the application.

So figure he'll apply to get it back, first.

Do you have to promote justice to be a justice?

[Eccl 10:2]

“Never happen. Ever.”

I disagree. Don’t think that Liberals necessarily do things because of their desire to achieve a positive outcome.

Most of what Liberals do is to simply stick it to Conservatives to see what they can get away with, then laugh and sneer about it, without regard to the real consequences. And this would be a great way to stick it to Conservatives.

[bannie]

He wants to be king of the UN.

[Republican Wildcat]

Would the Senate seriously consider someone that was disbarred by the U.S. Supreme Court qualified to serve on that same Court?

[nmh]

#2 Agree!

Ole bill is permanently stained.

[Laptop_Ron]

Actually, he would make an excellent ambassador. He can talk anyone’s pants off (ask Monica). I think that being able to lie is actually an asset to an ambassador—or should I say the ability to mislead would be an asset. lol

[Cobra64]

"The notion that Mr. Clinton will be a "shadow president," effectively circumventing the constitutional limitations on presidential service, presents a campaign opportunity for the GOP."

What?! The GOP is too stupid to figure out how to leverage this concept. Even if it did, the GOP is to gutless to implement it.

And the bozos at the RNC who call me for money, are even more clueless.

Anything to keep him outside the WH, and gives her more time with 'other'.

[dayglored]

> I thought Hillary already said she would appoint him World Ambassador or something.

That's right.

So first, he's president, and she's phantom president.

Then she's president, and he's ambassador to the world.

Then she's ambassador to the world, and he's ambassador to Mars.

It's all in the plan...
