NOW tell me again why he could not get confirmed in the Senate?

I think it would be difficult, considering -

January 19, 2001 - CLINTON ACCEPTS RAY DEAL OVER PAULA JONES STATEMENT-ALSO ARKANSAS BAR LICENSE SUSPENDED 5YRS, FINE

and

November 9, 2001 - Ex-President Clinton resigns from Supreme Court bar rather than fight suspension

He can't even represent a case in Arkansas, much less before SCOTUS, for nearly two more years.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about his suspension, which suits Clinton fine. The Democrats aren't going to damage his legacy and "rehabilitation" by resurrecting the issue of his suspension again.

I'm more worried about Chief Justice Hillary Rodham-Clinton - which could happen if George Bush loses the election.

That's even less likely to happen than Slick Willie getting a seat on the big bench.

Hillary is the single most bitterly divisive person drawing breath in America today--far more so than George W. Bush. A Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee will NEVER give her a ticket to the SCOTUS ball. And if they even hinted they MIGHT do that, there would be a filibuster on the Senate Floor that would last until she rolls over and croaks of old age.

Scag Hag Hillary will make a play for the presidency or nothing. Better that she be forced to burn vast sums of money slogging it out with a failed Democratic incumbent in a bloody and vicious Democratic primary and convention in 2008 than she get a clear shot at a fresh Republican candidate with all her money intact.
