Would Hillary prefer the VP slot OR becoming a Supreme Court Justice?

[Pirate Smile]

While I was falling asleep last night, I was thinking about this - envisioning a meeting between Obama and Clinton to deal with the current state of the nomination.

My basic premise (some may disagree but I believe this is basically where we realistically stand right now): I don't think there is any way she can overcome his delegate lead and I think it would be suicidal for the superdelegates to overturn the pledged delegate choice.

What would Hillary prefer - the Vice President slot OR the first open Supreme Court Justice slot?

Bill wont ever be a Supreme Court Justice. I like the idea of her doing something so impressive without it being something Bill already did.

What do you think?

1. she'd be a great supreme

though vp is looking interesting.
i think she could actually do more good as a supreme.

2. I think she'd make a better President. nt

3. I would offer her the Supreme Court, but I can't even begin to imagine the confirmation hearings

If we had 60 or so Dem Senators, it would be one thing. But, Good Lord, that would be a blood letting.

5. I don't know. I think they all respect her and know what an intelligent, hard worker she is and

they also know she isn't the caricature the RW made her out to be.

I think her being a Senator would make getting through the confirmation battle easier.

7. Her votes in the Senate have disappointed me...

I'd hate to see her get the chance to be a Supreme Court Justice and end up being the one overturning Roe v. Wade or something. I don't think she's trustworthy enough to be entrusted with that position.

8. Good point about her being a Senator and part of the club

I would make this deal in a heartbeat if I could a back-channel promise from an Arlen Spector type that she would be confirmed.

This is some big-time backroom political stuff, isn't it?

4. After her remark putting McCain above Obama

in the who's better class, I really wonder how much of a Democrat she really is..which begs the question as to how liberal she is. I've always viewed her as Republican light.

6. Supreme Court Justice...

The idea of Hillary being Pres. upsets "conservatives" enough. Could you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth if she was nominated to be a Supreme Court Justice? I would die from laughter. :evilgrin:

9. She's be horrible for the Supreme Court.

Give her majesty whatever else she desires, including the presidency itself.

The Court needs judges that can *pretend* to be credible and following jurisprudence not politics.

Putting a politician with so little judicial credibility on the Court would just further deteriorate respect for the institution.

10. What qualifications does she have for the Supreme Court?

None that I'm aware of.
