A SCJ has to show up for work every day.

Why? The only way he can be removed is to be impeached, and they already tried that once.

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

Don't forget Slick was also disbarred.

Of course it wouldn't matter to the libs... having a disbarred lawyer on the Supreme Court bench.

—he’s got most of the characteristics Orville William Douglas had for the last twenty years or so of his term-—although Douglas hadn’t been impeached from any office.

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

No such requirement in the Constitution. Anyway, he got it back like two years ago.

Republicans revolted over Harriet Miers.

Imagine the firestorm a perjuring, adulterous, lying coke head like Bill Clinton would ignite.

And he’d be sure to upstage Hillary at every turn. Something she would not chance to happen.

No, I stick by my post. NEVER!

One does not have to be a lawyer to serve on the popular SCOTUS, though the sheeple don’t know that.

Or, has anyone who has been disbarred by the US Supreme Court gone on to serve on the US Supreme Court?

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

What makes you think that if he was in the WH, he'd be going after Hillary? I'd give odds they haven't had sex in a decade (roughly since she found out about Monica). He's gotten his ashes hauled elsewhere for a long time.

More to the point, Bill doesn't give a crap who Hillary sleeps with, as long as it's a woman. Another man would be competition, but if it's a female, he knows she can't go public with it.

They are just minimum-wage callers reading from a script; they probably wouldn’t know a Repubican if he came up to them. I suspect that these coming primaries will also reveal forevermore how nutty are the Republican sheeple.

I believe the expression is "Nutty as squirrel poo."

Anything to keep Bill on the road and out of Hillary’s personal business.

Clinton Disbarred by Supreme Court

Errr, wasn’t he disbarred. So, even if he got back his license, I would think that he would not pass the fit deal.

It's not necessary to have a law license to serve as a Supreme Court Justice.

However, as I recall, the plea agreement that Clinton signed with the special prosecutor forbade him from practicing before the Supreme Court (the special prosecutor didn't and couldn't disbar him, that was up to the Arkansas Bar).

If one is forbidden to practice before the Supreme Court, it would be a little awkward to rationalize appointing him to its bench.

Not that a little thing like that ever kept the Clintons from doing anything...
