Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm (D) says she’s once again on President Obama’s short list for appointment to the Supreme Court. In an interview with CNN, the term-limited governor says she has talked with people in the Obama administration about the upcoming nomination to replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens.
“It's a great honor to be on -- considered on the list,” said Granholm who went through this process last year with the opening that went to Sonia Sotomayor. She did not say if she’s spoken with the President who Fox News reported this past week held informal discussions with some of the people he’s considering.
Granholm, like Obama, holds a law degree from Harvard and appeals to some people who want the President to pick someone who is not currently serving as a federal appellate court judge. All nine members of the current Court were federal appellate judges before their elevation to the high court.
Granholm shares that interest saying, “I think it's a very wise move to consider experience that is not just from the judicial monastery because -- I mean not just me but Janet Napolitano, people that have applied the laws that Congress enacts, that have seen their impact on people, that -- you know, I mean I'm from the most challenged state in the country. And, you know, for somebody to experience and see what everyday people are feeling and experiencing out there, I think is an important thing to consider.”

Any word from Larry King whether she should pose for Playboy?
Agreed. This lady is a nitwit and has ran the state of Michigan into the ground. No way should she serve on the Supreme court.
WT*?
Isn’t she CANADIAN?
Isn’t this bad form?
Another person not born in the USA
Everyone I know in/from Michigan says she’s dumb as a pile of rocks.
She was born in Canada but is now a US citizen and qualified for the Court.
“Qualified” maybe.
Appropriate. NOT AT ALL.
Proven disaster Granholm .... makes an ideal Obama choice.
She is an American who immigrated from Canada, not a problem for appointment to the USSSC.
...but she went to HAH-vahd...she must be Sooooo smaht....
Scratch “Qualified”
Insert “eligible”.
And INAPPROPRIATE. A foreigner on the USSC?
Not just no, but heck no.
If so, then this woman disproves the Peter Principle, which states: “Everyone Tends to Rise to His (or Her) Level of Incompetence.”
She was incompetent as governor, so why would you promote her to Supreme Court?
Sure.
But his pick will get a rubber stamp in the Senate at the age of 50 will sit on the Court for 30-40 years.
It could be worse, he could pick a 30 year old Japanese woman with a life expectancy of 105.
I applaud President Obama. He has really taken up the cause of the dumb. He has made sure that dumb folks with law degrees are represented in the highest echelons of government. First Joe Biden now Jennifer Granholm. This is diversity at its finest. It is time the dumb have a seat at the table like other underrepresented (except in Congress) minorities.
That would be preferable.
Very few Japanese are socialists.
Obama is our very own Hugo Chavez.
Every bit.
Is she mentally challenged? She sounds like an absolute moron. Although who could argue against all her accomplishments in Michigan?
