One of the unfortunate diseases of the body politic has been the increasing politicalization of the US Supreme Court. This was not caused by conservatives; however, perhaps it should be solved by a conservative President.
One outstanding chance is now upon us. Most likely, President Bush will take the safe road and go through the political gauntlet and appoint a known conservative judge. What we really need is a break in the partisanship of the appointment process. Nominating former President Clinton would give everyone pause and begin a process where politicians (mostly, but not exclusively Democrats) can cease making efforts to please narrow interest groups in the selection process.
I know former President Clinton has personal flaws. I also know his reputation for politically catering to the pro-choicers and so forth. If any of you know a successful politiican, you know how much many of them hate being jerked around by special interest groups. I do believe Clinton began as a centrist in his party and did sign the welfare reform bill and so forth.
I could give his other qualifications, but I will leave it here.
Are you feeling okay?
You sound like you are suffering from Nagin's Disease...relax...turn off the Geraldo...I promise you there will be no riots.

Thanks for the posting. After all the depressing news, we could all use a good laugh.
Did something fall on your head this morning?
YEAH, ARE YOU FEELING OK?
Have we ever had a Supreme Court Justice who was disbarred from practicing law as a penalty for perjury?
ROFLMAO!!
Shrinker, you off your meds again??
Please don't use Vanity posts for Stupidity posts.
disbarred attorneys are always at the top of my list for USSC vacancies.
Bill Clinton, yeah, he'd bring us together.
He'd make a good chief judge of a wet T-shirt contest, so long he was tied to his chair, or maybe - and I'd vote for him on this one, and it'scertainly job he'd prefer - America's Best Cheeseburger or Best Jelly onut.
But the SCOTUS?
I just don't like the idea of him a robe. I want his hands in full view at all times.
This calls to mind >>>

Are you sure you screen name isn't spelled shrinkingmind?
It could be difficult to get him confirmed since he was disbarred from the court for perjury in 2000 or so.
LOL! This is good stuff with a certain irony all it's own. Let's see, a Supreme Court justice who, prior to appointment, was disbarred from presenting cases to the Supreme Court.

Klintoon has done his share of spreading diseases, methinks.
Bill Clinton doesn't have a law license and was disbarred by the SCOTUS.
