I thinking about how Obama and Hillary could have a win-win situation, I was thinking about Hillary as a Supreme Court Justice. It’s inevitable that a President Obama would be appointing one or more during his term.

Imagine having Hillary on the SOTU as a champion for women’s reproductive rights and other progressive issues. Imagine her fighting spirit up against Alito, Roberts and Thomas.

The SOTU could enable Hillary Clinton to have a lifetime of service with power and prestige standing up for the issues she cares about.

If Obama has long coattails, a Democratic majority could confirm her nomination. It would salve a lot of consciences of SD’s who may have forsaken her.

It would seem to be a win-win for everyone concerned, including the American people who would have a powerful, progressive woman on the Supreme Court.

I received a letter today from Senator Byrd sent out by the "Friends of Robert C. Byrd" requesting campaign contributions. In it there is an impassioned plea to help Senator Byrd continue to "defend the constitution." He actually said in the letter that his oath of office did not mean that he "had to give automatic or obedient approval to any nominee whom the President of the United States nominated for a place on the federal bench" and that he swore no aquiescence to an arrogant majority committed to near total power."

I always had a lot of respect for Senator Byrd and ordinarily such a request would move me to contribute. However, knowing of his intended support for Alito, I felt perplexed, sad, confused and betrayed - as though somebody kidnapped the real Byrd and substituted a robot.
