Why would one HAVE TO retire? That 9 justices thing is not called out in the Constitution anywhere. The Supreme Court has had as few as 7 and as many as 17 justices. It's just that 9 is traditional. One former president filled the court to 17 to offset the lopsided loading of his predecessor.

She does not need the job. The statue of limitations has already run out on Whitewater.

That photo has been well researched and 100% debunked as not Stevens.

Obama has filled two vacancies on the Court. David Souter waited to retire until there was a Democrat in the White House (although he had been appointed by a Republican). The idea must be that Obama would have selected Hillary instead of Sotomayor or Kagan.

He appears to have made it a rule that all of his nominees will be women, since he passed up two opportunities to select Alcee Hastings.

I think Axelrod means VJ was considering what to do with Hillary.

One way to get her out of his hair for good.

He may want to consider polonium for that.
