high(er) office established by dick 'the wanker' Cheney nominates himself for the Supreme Court to replace Scalia who had the misfortune of waking up dead. Obama, in a rambling statement, said he needed a part time job now that his second term as president was about finished. He declared that after minutes of looking around, which exceeded 'the wankers' efforts by many seconds, he determined that he was the only realistic and viable replacement. Due to the intractability of senate republicans and the expected resistance to any nominee to anything by President Barak 'blackman' Obama he, Obama, will declare Martial law on the last day of his presidency, name himself to the court, affirm said nomination due to his powers under martial law and then rescind the Martial law edict. When senate republicans learned of his plan senator Mitch ' the turtle ' McConnell said many inchoherant things mixed with much spittle flinging. President and Supreme Court justice Obama's response was, "yo mama".

3. How dId Taft get to SCOTUS?

I honestly don't know. I just know he was POTUS & then later SCOTUS (which, IIRC, was his original desired career path).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Howard_Taft#Chief_Justice.2C_1921.E2.80.931930

On June 30, 1921, following the death of Chief Justice Edward Douglass White (whom Taft himself had nominated), President Warren G. Harding nominated Taft to take his place. For a man who had once remarked, "there is nothing I would have loved more than being chief justice of the United States" the nomination to oversee the highest court in the land was like a dream come true.[215] There was little opposition to the nomination, and the Senate approved him 60-4 in a secret session on the day of his nomination, but the roll call of the vote has never been made public.[216] Taft received his commission immediately and readily took up the position, taking the oath of office on July 11, and serving until 1930. As such, he became the only President to serve as Chief Justice, and thus the only former President to swear in subsequent Presidents, giving the oath of office to both Calvin Coolidge (in 1925) and Herbert Hoover (in 1929).

Taft enjoyed his years on the court and was respected by his peers. Justice Felix Frankfurter once remarked to Justice Louis Brandeis that it was "difficult for me to understand why a man who is so good a Chief Justice...could have been so bad as President."[215] Taft remains the only person to have led both the Executive and Judicial branches of the United States government. He considered his time as Chief Justice to be the highest point of his career; allegedly, he once remarked "I do not remember that I was ever President!"[217]

9. NO.... HELL NO.....

1. I have had the unfortunate opportunity to be in the Turtle's presence. I would guess his spittle would cause irreparable harm to life and limb of those around him. Let us please not do anything that would cause flinging spittle.

2. President Obama is FAR too cool for the Supreme Court. Seriously. Can you picture this guy hanging out with Roberts, Alito and Thomas? His coolness would probably melt their hair. Do you really want that on your continence?
