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 he’d 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 him—no one really believes that, but it's still something he says. Earlier this month he even claimed, “I don’t 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 .

I think one of the reasons Obongo didn’t make a bigger stink about Garland is he had ideas about getting Scalia’s chair. I think he relished the idea of being a leftist who replaced the finest Conservative mind on the SC and turning the SC reliably left for at you a decade.
I can see the Senate approving him ... lost his law license for insurance fraud.
What a F’n dips#!t, Obama couldn’t be an ambulance chaser, and Biden thinks he would make a Supreme Ct Judge? Mr Biden has fallen off the bell curve and has landed on the base of the left side.
Can you be on the Supreme court without having a license to practice law?
A story that the media refused to look into.
Well why wait? Go ahead and do it now Joe. Couldn’t be any worse than anything else you’ve done.
One of his not so well known accomplishments anal braille.
Finding out who Barry really is and where he’s from would be entertaining ,LOL
Biden has never missed an opportunity to namedrop Barack Obama and remind voters he was Obama’s vice-president because he’s still hanging onto Obamas coattail to validate his run.
Exactly, he’ll latch on to anyone or anything that he thinks will help him.
“Just as a long as ObaMugabe can produce a birth certificate.”
Oh, he can produce one. Just not the one that is from Kenya that is locked away by the Brits.
But you might look at it this way. Only in America would you have a liar on the Supreme Court interpreting Constitutional Law for the entire country. He surrendered his law license back in 2008 to escape charges that he “fibbed” on his bar application. An obviously overwhelming candidate.

Who does he think Obama is?
William Howard Taft?
Obama is going to have to put on a lot of weight if he wants to be the next Howard Taft. :)
Bammys too lazy. He also forfeited his law license.
Why?
Your BFF will not endorse you but, you are endorsing him?
Panderer...
I think he should have said he would nominate his son Hunter for the job since Hunter would never have to look for work again. Besides he knows as much about the law as he did the oil and gas industry.
Hmmm. Don’t you have to have a law license to serve on any court, let alone the Supreme Court?
That’s just what we need, more Barack 0bama. What a jackass.
Beyond Stupid...both of the idiots.
This is just one more reason to vote against Joe Biden.
