Michelle Obama’s Next Move (President? Supreme Court Justice?)
Newsweek ^ | December 3, 2012 | Allison Samuels

Posted on 12/02/2012 7:42:46 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Chatting with a group backstage on the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October, Michelle Obama made it clear that she wasn’t thinking about what she might do in the future. “I’m just looking ahead to getting Barack back in office and continuing the work he’s been doing,” she said. “Supporting him is my focus.”

But others think the first lady—who spent the past four years seeking to better the lives of military families and fighting to end childhood obesity before becoming one of the stars of her husband’s reelection effort this fall—could have bigger things ahead of her, if she so chooses. “Michelle is Superwoman. What can’t she do?” Samuel L. Jackson recently told Newsweek. “That’s why people love her. She can be on the Supreme Court and anywhere else she wants. She can be the president. She’s history and she’ll stay history because she is so amazingly smart and together.”

Jackson isn’t the only person thinking along these lines. “I’d love to see her get more into politics because it would be a breath of fresh air in D.C.,” says Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina. “She’s honest and straightforward, which is not what you see in Washington much. She is exactly what we need around here.”(continued)

Moochelle could play “Alice the Goon” in the next Popeye movie.

I only learned that about five or so years ago.

Shocking honestly.

Most sitting justices learn a lot about life, having to sit through cases.

I can’t imagine anyone being qualified without some practical courtroom experience, say ten years or so.

She probably retired it because she wasn’t going to practice and didn’t want the hassle and expense of keeping up with CLE requirements. It’s not unusual.

The lesson of Hillary Clinton that people have apparently missed- being married to a President does no confer any especial wisdom on foreign or public policy.

THE RELEVANCE OF MICHELLE OBAMA

She is sporting the "Italian Restaurant" look where she can eat dinner off herself.

This caption inspired by Rodney Dangerfield's "Easy Money."

I am so happy not to be there.

Believe it or not, being an attorney is not required for that job.

I can see Moochelle given a lifetime appointment, such as a seat on a Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, or a safe Congressional district somewhere in Chicagoland.

IIRC you don’t even have to be a lawyer to be on the SUp Ct.

Washington DC wins because they control the CCC & leadership.
*******************
A SC Justice doesn’t have to have a law degree. However, it’s highly unlikely that the Senate would approve someone without one, since so many of them are lawyers (trained liars).

I have leftists in my family who have debated who they want to be the first female POTUS, Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton.

Yes, I come from a family of idiots.

Don’t think she was technically disbarred...but she did “voluntarily” surrender her law license for reason or reasons unknown to all but the Illiois bar...but something smells fishy there.
