While campaigning in Iowa, Joe Biden was asked if he would consider nominating Barack Obama to the Supreme Court.
I guess it was a serious question, and Joe Biden actually responded: "if he'd take it."
Wall Street Journal reporter Ken Thomas was the first to report this exchange on Twitter.

Biden asked here in Washington, Iowa, if he would ever nominate former President Obama to serve on the Supreme Court. If hed take it, yes, Biden says.

Biden has never missed an opportunity to namedrop Barack Obama and remind voters he was Obama's vice-president. Biden has even claimed he specifically asked Obama not to endorse himno one really believes that, but it's still something he says. Earlier this month he even claimed, I dont need an Obama endorsement. If you look at national polls, this is arguably true. He's the frontrunner nationally, but he's struggling in some of the early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire to take the lead there. Losses in those states might make it difficult for him to win Nevada and South Carolina, where his lead has been cut into significantly.
But, let's get back to the absurd idea of Barack Obama on the Supreme Court. Obama is about as qualified to be on the Supreme Court as I am to be an astronaut.
Obama often talks about him being a constitutional law professor, but, as president, he repeatedly exceeded his constitutional authority. There are many examples of Obama flouting the Constitution. Most involve his inclination to bypass Congress to legislate via executive action. But the most significant example of Obama's lack of constitutional aptitude is how he was repeatedly rebuked by the Supreme Court .

Obama has been a fraud in every facet of his life, from his birth to being president. If obama was appointed to the Supreme Court, it would lower the bar be4low the toilet.

So we want to put a lecturer in law--the university equivalent of an eighth-grade substitute teacher--on the highest court in the land?
A lot like putting five-year-old who's qualified himself in his pedal-car airplane, into the cockpit of a jet airliner.

He would have clerks to do most of the work.
They can get the clerks to do the grunt work and even write the opinions, but they still have to show up most of the time. No possible way that Barry wants to harsh his retirement buzz with actual job responsibilities... let alone boring-as-hell SCOTUS work.

Obama would write the court opinion talking about himself.

I’m surprised Biden didn’t suggest Michelle Obama.

I like the last thing Obama and Biden did was start giving themselves medals. Typical banana republic behavior.

Unfortunately I won’t live long enough to see BOTH of these traitors die. I have other things to look forward to though but both of these would be very satisfying.
