Hillary would be a terrifying prospect. Like her hubby, Hil’s moderated her political positions over the years in order to keep getting re-elected and to stay viable politically. On the SC, she’d have no such constraints. I believe she would be as activist a Justice as we’ve seen in a generation.

I was actually going to say, of all of them, Hillary may be the best hope.
She was once a republican and seems to have become more moderate as the years have gone by - defintely to the right of Obama.
Is she coming full circle? Without her having to win votes from left, would she be more of a moderate on the bench, a swing vote, instead of a straight case lib like Ginsburg? I could be dreaming.
But all the others are hardened leftists who have never held conservative values.
