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 right seems to spend a lot of time giving the left ideas.
Has Barry ever written a legal opinion? Has he ever practiced law? Just curious. Dealbreaker would be no 747 for an annual world tour
Yeah, right. Like that stopped him from becoming president!
“The sorry POS wouldn’t be up to the job. He is totally unqualified.”
True. But his qualifications or lack of, won’t matter if the GOP fails to win the presidency or God forbid, lose the Senate.
October surprise.
Allahcross the land, hundreds of Trick-or-treaters are beheaded on Halloween.
Bitter gun and Bible clingers are blamed.
Martial law is declared.
Elections are ‘temporary’ suspended for a couple decades.
Judges are considered based on their judicial record, training, schooling. Odunga has nothing to offer in these regards. A lazy guest lecturer with his grades under lock and key is a non starter.
I am insulted about the use of the word brilliant, he is not brilliant
...and a person born a British subject by right of blood through his British subject Kenyan father can't become a US president either.
Any year except this one, that would be crazy talk.
We don't have to worry. Obama is lazy. Any job he takes will mean all he does is travel around the world, play golf and basketball, read speeches off teleprompters. More likely he'll be on some beach somewhere on a permanent vacation. Sitting on his rear end in Supreme Court meetings in the winter in DC? No way.
Yes. Nine more months until the election. Give her time!
Neither Hussein nor Moose currently has an active law license authorizing them to practice.
Understood.
Hillary buttering up the guy who can pardon her. What a surprise.
Obama is too lazy to be on the SCOTUS.

Lazy?
Sure, but... he won’t have to DO anyting but cast a vote... his ‘corner’ will do the heavy lifting.
It’s a pattern that has worked for him SO FAR.
Cruz was fooled by Roberts, so if he somehow, no matter how unlikely, becomes President, then it’s possible he could put up Obama as a potential Justice.
He is too lazy to be a SC justice.
He doesn’t want the job. He wants to be UN Secretary General.
Well... the RNC would love it.
It’s valuable real estate.
God help us if he does.
