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.
