Can a former POTUS go to work on the SCOTUS? Hillary Clinton thinks so.
At an event in Iowa, an audience member asked Mrs. Clinton, a Democratic presidential candidate, whether she would nominate President Obama for a role on the Supreme Court if she became the next president. Mrs. Clinton responded immediately, according to CBS News:
Wow, what a great idea. Nobody has ever suggested that to me. Wow, I love that, wow. He may have a few other things to do, but I tell you that's a great idea ... He's brilliant and he can set forth an argument and he was a law professor. He's got all the credentials.
Currently, Supreme Court justices have an average age of around 75, according to birthdates available from the Supreme Court website. Four of the justices will be over 80 by the end of the next presidential term, leading many to assume that the next president, Republican or Democrat, will likely appoint at least one Supreme Court justice....

The sorry POS wouldn’t be up to the job. He is totally unqualified.
Besides, Michelle doesn't like it in Washington, and isn't going to want to stay there forever.
Then he needs to hold off appointing a replacement for Scalia
If Zero really wanted to kill two birds with one stone, he could resign now, have Plugs appoint him to SCOTUS (recess or otherwise). Plugs becomes the incumbent President and shuts down both Bernie and the Butcheress of Benghazi’s candidacies.
Not as a competent office holder.
“...he’s brilliant...” Walt Disney was brilliant. Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were brilliant. Obama invented “roof hits,” to get the last bit of pot smoke from the roof of a car. I’d put his judgement and his intellectual ability right up there with Snoop Dogg and O’l Dirty. So yeah, he will most likely be the next Justice.
He will nominate himself... or Hillary will nominate him... but lets not let any of that stop us from nominating the unelectable Donald Trump....
That same thought actually crossed my mind but surely the conservatives in the Senate would never go for it. Right? Right? Right?
This dictator Obama won’t be stepping down from power in November.
Hillary buttering up the guy who can pardon her. What a surprise.
Obama is too lazy to be on the SCOTUS.
You mean the ultimate feckless one would become twice the feckless one? HaHaHaHahaHaHaHaHaHaHa......
I suspect he will wait until January.
“I, Obama” wouldn’t be properly adored in that role.
Sec. General of the U.N.? Now we’re talkin’!
This communist dictator Obama won’t be stepping down ever. He’ll make the move in November to negate the election.
0bama is a supreme Court Jester.
William Howard Taft was 27th President and eight years after leaving office he became the 10th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The sorry POS wouldn’t be up to the job. He is totally unqualified.
Yep!!! Incompetent!!!
A citizen of one of the permanent Security Council countries cannot be secretary general.
Besides, Michelle doesn’t like it in Washington, and isn’t going to want to stay there forever.
I wish he would move to his new love Cuba!!
