President Obama does not want to be a Supreme Court justice. He calls it "too monastic" for his own personality. Besides, in an interview with the New Yorker, President Obama acknowledges that he needs to get out of the "bubble" after what will be eight years as president of the United States.
“I love the law, intellectually,” the president tell the New Yorker, which says he sounds "tempted" at the idea of being on the Court. “I love nutting out these problems, wrestling with these arguments. I love teaching. I miss the classroom and engaging with students. But I think being a Justice is a little bit too monastic for me. Particularly after having spent six years and what will be eight years in this bubble, I think I need to get outside a little bit more.”

maybe we would find out why he lost his license
Well he’s giving the SC a pass because Ruth G told him he’d have to wear the black robe, no little black dresses allowed.
who is asking him to be such ???
Obama can be the Dark Lord and Colin Powell can be his Darth Vader.
> “I love nutting out these problems, wrestling with these arguments.”
Interesting choice of words given the source...
That assumes they'd ask anything remotely telling.
Exactly. Kinda the way he’s operated his presidency.
Nope.
In fact, I think it'd be desirable to have non-lawyers on the USSC.
“He is also not q lawyer, having surrendered his license to avoid having it taken away”
Yeh that too. LOL!
This bum literally couldn’t hack slinging ice cream at the Honolulu Baskin-Robbins. There IS NO JOB he’s qualified for.
Eff that. Why should we feed him. Deport him and all like him. And remind him of the Liberty Tree if he tries to come back.
He means it’s too much work

I dunno, he might have a great time with all those young, male law clerks and dark cloakrooms.
Well, it’ll probably be required that he actually show up on time - and do a little work...
No.
“I love the law, intellectually,”
Is that why you were never actually a law professor, you never actually tried any cases, and you “surrendered” your law license under still murky circumstances?
No.
A law degree is not a requirement to be on the SCOTUS.
It wouldn't matter in his case anyway...just like any other requirement or law.
