I’m surprised he’s not wanting to take over the United Nations.

[Mom MD]

I think that has been the goal all along. That would be his payoff for supporting Hilary. But as I understand it it would require a change in the UN charter. AS it stands now, no secretary general can come from one of the nations that has a permanent seat on the security council. Small barrier to the Clintons however - Bill could become a european as quickly as HIlary became a NYer

Seeing pookie18 doesnt post on Sat., this is funny.
WJC a Supreme Court Justice, lolololol

[BallyBill]

This is a Joke?

Right?

CNN is obviously a joke.

[RightWingConspirator]

It might be Ginsberg, since he is the one who appointed her! She is so ugly she’d have to be down under the desk out of sight!

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Small barrier, indeed.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I love the tagline!

Borrowed from another Freeper with permission.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

is he an attorney?

No, a rancher.

This Poll might as well ask

How Many Angels Can Dance on The Head Of A Pin

Here's why:

The U.S. Supreme Court also suspended Mr. Clinton from its bar in 2000. He officially announced he would contest his disbarment, but later resigned.

So even though his Ark Law License suspension is up, any question regarding Billy Jeff and SCOTUS is moot. If he can't practice before it, he surely can't be part of it.

Plus I don't think a once Disbarred Lawyer could get past any Senate vote, even with RINO's. It would make mockery out of SCOTUS.

The head line is "Would Bill make a good supreme court justice" not 'will'.

Maybe it's just me but with 'will' in there it sounds like a foregone conclusion, and that's cary all by itself.

[BBell]

It’s interesting that the 43% he is getting is the same amount that he won the White House with. Some people never learn.

[cmet]

Can any one see Bill in a position where being out of the public eye is the norm. Really, Bill actually spending hours in an office make judicious decisions? Not being on camera, not make public statements?

Not to mention the separation of powers. Talk about being in bed with the presidential branch. well figuratively speaking anyway.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

IF bill clinton were to become a justice it would be the end of the United States as we know it. If he got on the court, most of her other appointees would be on federal courts. And the left can do what it always has dreamed of doing. Shredding the U.S. Constitution, and making up laws as they go. Hillary will be president forever, and conservatives would be put in gulags all over this nation.

“put her impeached, lying, DISBARRED hubby Bill”

You forgot, “raping, sexual predator, . . .”.

[Lirona]

I'm sorry to say, Bill Clinton was not disbarred. He was suspended from the practice of law for a period of five years.

The Supreme Court did not disbar him either. He resigned.

There is a world of difference between being suspended and being disbarred. Suspended is temporary and disbarred is permanent.

The terms of the suspension were very clear that he is free to reapply for reinstatement of his law license at any time after 5 years. That five years is up.

He hasn't reapplied yet, but he can at anytime. If it's granted, then he could conceivably be eligible to sit as a judge on any court, even the Supreme Court.

Scary, ain't it?

[IrishMike]

Interesting observation -
but that’s a dismal result for Clinton
from the Clinton News Network.

[rocksblues]

BJ would not take the job as Chief Justice is already taken.

[isrul]

You would think that being disbarred and being a perjurer would maybe tend to disqualify someone. But I guess not.

[NordP]

Not only NO, but...

Dear God, NO!

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

“But who will be under that big desk”

I seem to remember on justice already there whom he appointed with Hillary’s help...”Lefty” Ginsberg

...and they also have pages and pagettes
