Hillary: Obama as Supreme Court Justice is 'a great idea'

If you need another reason to vote for literally anyone but Hillary Clinton, here it is: She thinks it would be a "great idea" to make Barack Obama a Supreme Court Justice. ...Or at least that's what she says. During an Iowa town hall, Clinton was asked about the possibility of letting Obama trash the Constitution for the rest of his life, because apparently 8 years just isn't enough. According to Bloomberg, she responded as follows:

“I will certainly take that under advisement,” she said in Decorah, responding to a man’s recommendation. “I mean, he's brilliant, he can set forth an argument and he was a law professor, so he’s got lots of credentials.” She acknowledged that there might be a few obstacles in the way, first and foremost whether Obama would want the job after eight years in the White House. “He may have a few other things to do,” she said, “but I’ll tell you, that’s a great idea.”

There are a couple of things we need to remember about this. The first is that Hillary is completely untrustworthy. If you believe that she genuinely admires, likes, and supports Barack Obama, I have some beautiful rolling land in the center of the Okefenokee swamp I'd like to sell you. There is no love lost between the Clintons and the Obamas, and it's highly doubtful that Hillary will want anything to do with her former boss once he leaves office.

Hillary's just tying herself to the Obama legacy (such as it is) in an effort to stop her liberal base from defecting to Bernie. The second, and more important, point is that the next President will probably get - at least - two chances to appoint someone to the Supreme Court bench. Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer are both rocketing towards retirement and the vacancies they leave will almost certainly be the purview of the next President. If that President is Hillary Clinton, it doesn't really matter who she appoints. You can bet your last two nickels that her selection will view the Constitution with exactly the same disdain as Obama. In fact, if she can find an uber-liberal candidate who's "sellable" enough, you should presume she'll pick someone even worse than our current Commander in Chief. The bottom line is: If you like your rights, stopping Mrs. Clinton is imperative.
