I have heard psychotic/lunatic liberals say things like BOTH Bill and Hillary Klinton can end up on Supereme Court.

Didn’t Bill Klinton lose his Arkansas liscence after impeachment?

Is their anyhthing in Law or technicality that could prevent this?

Wasn’t Hillary Klinton at least found guilty by the investigation of the WH Travel Office firings investigation? Even if she wasn’t prosecuted.

Would there be any legal backing in stopping someone like that becoming a SC justice?

Didn’t Bill Klinton lie under oath and admitted to it?

But hey, TRUE CONSERVATIVES, don’t let Juan McCain win.

Hussein President.

Klitons in SC.

At least Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and rest of right wing bimbos would be happy. Pull in money hands and fist!

I have only one thing to add about an Obama Supreme Court.

Justice Hillary Clinton.

Yep, we’ve been lectured for so long that the constitution is a “living breathing document”. That and tortured logic allows liberals to issue any court rulings they wish. They can justify anything with the “living breathing” type of interpretation.

It’s a foreign concept to some to say that, since the constitution says nothing about abortion, then there’s not a constitutional right to abortion as such.

"Me and my husband Antillio would like to thank all the Conservatives who stayed home which made it
possbile for Obama to become our President and to select the type of Supreme Court Justices who had
the emotional capacity to pass the "National Gay Rights Marriage Act of 2009." We're about to have our
first baby! Heheheheeeeeeee....."

Oh most definitely, there is a traditional and historical technicality that could prevent both Clintons from ever serving on the Supreme Court, or in any other office, elected or appointed.

Unfortunately, FR posting guidelines prohibit me from discussing that technicality.

But hey, hope springs eternal! LOL

While our Nation has been able to survive Brennanism—though with the recent Guantanamo decisions, especially Boumediene v. Bush, who knows?— will it be able to survive Obama-appointed Supreme Court justices?

Uh, no.

I'd not be surprised if some really horrible decisions so polarized this nation that we came to the brink of civil war.

Yes, I DO think that this is possible. Imagine that this Monday, the (pre-Obama) USSC rules that the 2nd Amendment does protect an individual right, overruling DC's outright ban, but say no more about levels of scrutiny, etc. A couple of years from now, an Obama Court (especially with several dozen District and Circuit Court judges appointed by him) could easily say "Rational Basis" applies to the 2nd Amendment, paving the way for bans all over the place. I simply couldn't give you clearer recipe for widespread abuses of power and widespread violence and targetted killings in response.

In any event, I'm certain that there'd be even less faith in the courts, and many, many millions more who are completely disaffected with government. Such attitudes lead to widespread flouting of the law, and that's not good for any country.

Yes, but only for 5 years, if memory serves.

Nothing in the law requires a Supreme Court Justice to be an attorney, licensed or not.

Justice Hillary Clinton.

I don't think she'd do it - she'd be out of the limelight, and her power would be vastly limited.

I don’t think so - she did fail it.

With the activist judiciary inventing Constitutional rights, the Supreme Court hardly lacks power, IMO. Also, 1/9 is much larger than 1/100.

I think she'd probably be very interested, unless she somehow thought she could be the nominee in 2012.

I suspect some real dirt on Obama will surface before the nomination. If it doesn’t surface on its own, Team Hillary will drop a Dirt Bomb on Obama the size of Manhattan. If neither happens, we are in for Hell on Earth with Obama leading an all-Dem government. Obama will replace Stevens and Ginsberg with two even worse judges. (BTW, I expect Kennedy to side with the Libs and defeat Heller).

No. If nominated and approved by the Senate he could serve.

You wrote: "I'd not be surprised if some really horrible decisions so polarized this nation that we came to the brink of civil war." thereby invoking the requirement to notify the Civil War II ping list.
