BY NOW it is clear that Merrick Garland, President Obama’s nomination to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Antonin Scalia’s death, is not going anywhere. But if Hillary Clinton wins the White House, Senate Republicans may make a desperate about-face during the lame-duck session to lock in the moderate Garland before the arrival of Clinton and a possibly more left-leaning candidate. By then, however, it will be too late.
Sorry, Judge Garland, but what Clinton should do if she wins is make clear that her choice will be none other than Barack Obama, a former professor of constitutional law, and the perfect choice to assume his place on the nation’s highest court. Naturally there will be a lot of gnashing of Republican teeth, but this scenario assumes that the Democrats will regain the Senate in the wake of an electoral debacle by Donald Trump
There are four good reasons why the second Clinton should follow this obvious course of action....
But our present president could better serve the nation as a Supreme Court justice after he leaves office, taking his place beside the four other liberal justices. Or counting another way, beside the other five Harvard Law School graduates on the court. And given his lack of interest in retail politicking, he might even enjoy it more than being president.
All this rests on the assumption that Clinton wins in November. What if Trump wins? Well, then all bets are off, and not just those concerning the Supreme Court.

You are exactly right, he never was a professor of Constitutional law. But that little fact never gets in the way of the liberal media — just like no truth gets in the way of their agenda.
Obama on the court would be a grave event
You’re right. He never was a professor of Constitutional Law or any other kind of law. He wasn’t even a part-time professor. He was an adjunct. That’s next to nothing.
BTW - are there any former students who have come forward to say his course was fantastic? From what I hear he basically talked about racism in his courses. That makes sense - he couldn’t even write one article for his law review. LOL
I think his teaching title was “lecturer”. This used to be the lowest instructor title when I was in engineering school. It is interesting that none of his students to my knowledge have commented on his instruction.
obama isn’t fit to judge a pie-eating contest.
Hey, he is at least as qualified as The Wise Latina, Lesbian Litigator, and the Snoozing Supreme (Sotomayor, Kagan, Ginsberg)
Well, BOTH Oboma’s lost their Illinois law licenses!
(Record, of course, is sealed - like ALL of Obola’s records - so we don’t know WHY he lost his Illinois legal license, but they don’t pull for trivial issues.
By the way, he was only an associate (teacher’s assistant) - wasn’t a “professor” at all. But this writer doesn’t “know” that.
Hahahaha! These idiots can’t even the basic facts right (”a former professor of constitutional law”).
Put down the crack pipe.
He was never a professor...
he was an adjunct instructor, and became a constitutional lawyer, expressly so he could use his knowledge to skirt the Constitution.

That’s just what this country doesn’t need, either a closet (m)uslim or at least a sympathizer. This country has enough problems without someone like him stoking the flames of divisiveness.
if Hillary Clinton wins the White House, stop right there... IF I poo in one hand and pee in the other , which will get warm faster ?? The argument is specious at best. if Hillary Clinton wins the White House we are dead duck done and WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE ??
Barry Soetoro, an illegal alien who is ineligible to be on the Supreme Court, just as he is ineligible to be President, was never a professor of anything.
Hillary’s “hole in the tongue” (with any luck) may finish her off!
Given the customs of SC justices, the most junior justice is the gopher. It would be very clintonian for HILLARY! to sentence the obam to be Justice Thomas and the wise latina’s manservant.
Hell...he might have to give up golf..and Love.
This half black jackass...is going to do what he's done his whole POTUS career....
Vacation, give speeches and play golf. Period
