The ULTIMATE revenge? Joe nominates Hillary for SCOTUS seat

[CatWoman]

wouldn't that be amazing?

[Paladin]

1. LET IT BE. (nt)

[CatWoman]

5. so let it be written; so let it be done

[SoonerPride]

2. I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message.

[helpisontheway]

3. No. We need a young person so they can hopefully hold the seat for a long time. Nt

[BComplex]

17. Good point! How 'bout Katie Porter?

I'll support her any day!

[helpisontheway]

22. Love her! She is amazing! Nt

[BComplex]

23. My sentiments, exactly!

[MissMillie]

29. THIS!!!

someone who will sit in that seat for a LONG TIME!

[sarge43]

32. Michelle Obama? n/t

[Volaris]

35. I'd prefer this as well. If we want hillary still doing something useful,

I'd appoint her AG.

Let her sign HER NAME to the bottom of every federal indictment Team Treasonweasel has earned for themselves...that would be an appropriate form of justice for what was done to her.

They'll scream their fool bloody heads off (it will be great hahaha!).

[Blue_true]

36. I totally agree. None of this nominating people in their late

fifties and sixties. There are lots of young, very capable, progressive legal minds out there, those people need to be on the bench.

[forgotmylogin]

59. Um. Barack Obama?

If he wanted it?

[wnylib]

60. He would be excellent.

But I don't know if he would accept it.

[OrlandoDem2]

4. It would be amazing but she wouldn't last too long. We need a young person.

But she could be Sec of State again.

[sunonmars]

6. It was very demanding back then 8 to 12 years ago, it would be too much for her now

A Younger person needs to be SOS, lots of travelling around.

Pete Buttigieg would be great for this role, I think

[Blue_true]

37. He would be a solid choice. Plus, that would suicide the rightwing bible-thumpers. nt

[Terry_M]

7. Nahh too old

But I think she'd have a good time as attorney general
A very good time.

[sarge43]

33. Yes indeed. I second that. n/t

[pandr32]

8. I'm good with that

...or AG.

[Mike Nelson]

9. I think...

... she would ask him to pick someone younger, and she may even have some recommendations. However, there are some roles Hillary could play in the Biden Administration, along with Obama. I think having Hillary & Obama around would be great for Crooked Donald!

[maxsolomon]

10. she's done. the clintons are done.

leave her be.

the obamas, too.

[delisen]

11. No she needed to be inaugurated as president

as did Al Gore.

Neither seems to seek some revenge or consolation prize for the failure of our democracy.

It is our failure not theirs. They are each proceeding with the important work they have always done.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. She's too old. Not too old to do the job, of course, but

too old to maintain the seat for decades to come, which is what's needed. Supreme Court appointees should be younger than, say, 55 in order to ensure that the appointed Justice can stay on the court for as long as possible.

[tinrobot]

13. I love Hillary, but she's too old. Nominate Katie Porter

Katie's a law professor, and plenty qualified.

[tblue37]

14. No. We need young SCOTUS justices, so they can sit for decades, like the GOP justices. nt

[Bradshaw3]

15. How about as special prosecutor

For the mountain of crimes committed by this administration that have gone unprosecuted.

[milestogo]

16. She does not have judicial experience.

[Vinca]

19. Many of the most notable justices didn't.

I'd prefer someone younger, though, so they'll be there for decades. Susan Rice would be good.

[Spider Jerusalem]

18. That would be a waste of a Supreme Court seat that could've gone to someone 25 years younger (n/t)

[I_UndergroundPanther]

20. How about senator

Allen Shiff or some of the other constitutional scholars from the impeachment trial?

[Johnny2X2X]

21. AG!

Make her attorney general!!!!

[Blue_true]

39. Yes. She would be excellent in that role. nt

[NewJeffCT]

24. I love the idea of Hillary, but if he really wanted to get Trump

nominate Michelle Obama - she's a few years younger than Barack.

Hillary Clinton and Merrick Garland are older than you want in a SCOTUS judge.

[Crunchy Frog]

25. With all due respect to Hillary, he should nominate someone young.

Someone in their early forties would be good.

[Wanderlust988]

26. Hillary with be the new HHS secretary

She's too old for the Court.

[OnDoutside]

27. No. Secretary of State....Putin would crap himself.

[GusFring]

28. In what world is it a good idea to nominate a 70yr old person?

[la-trucker]

30. She is eminently qualified but we need younger people who will last

several presidents in the future. Someone in the early 40's.

[oasis]

31. Biden pledged he would nominate an AA woman for SCOTUS. Hillary

would have to be put on hold until the next seat came open.

[Gore1FL]

34. I don't want to nominate someone i their 70's or 80's to a lifetime seat; especially as revenge.

Let's put a decent liberal on the bench that can stay there for a few decades instead.

[CatWoman]

38. i just think she has earned her due

[Blue_true]

40. She could be AG and preside over the criminal investigation of Trump and his family. nt

[tritsofme]

41. She is too old. Need someone in her late 40s/early 50s

[AwakeAtLast]

42. Merrick Garland should be first! n/t

[BGBD]

43. He is

too old as well. He was too old even when Obama nominated him. You can't nominate somebody in their 60s or 70s for the court now. It's a lifetime appointment and there's no reason to give another president a chance to nominate a replacement in just 10 or 15 years.

Na, gotta get a person in their 40s who can ride that seat for decades.

[yellowdogintexas]

53. you are right. Not everybody can be NRBG or William O White

I think White served up into his 90s . Now that was a flaming liberal right there.

[zak247]

44. Lets get elected first. Forget the unpopular Hillary for now.

And when Joe wins he can appoint her for sainthood then.

[Demovictory9]

45. yes, if Hillary was 50 years old or younger. Libs would soon be hoping each year that

she doesn't retire

[JI7]

46. I don't think she would want it. She has more power outside of the SC

And she would not be able to give her opinion on anything she wants .

Same goes for Obama and Michelle anytime someone mentions them.

[Celerity]

47. We need to first take back the Senate or nothing is going through, especially if McTurtle is still

the leader.

He will block any Democratic POTUS-nominated SCOTUS pick for 4 years or until they lose the Senate. Same for many cabinet positions. Hillary Clinton will NEVER get a vote in a Rethug run Senate for anything.

[DFW]

48. Stacey Abrams has legal background, eloquence and the right age

My vote goes to her for our next Supreme Court Justice. In a tight vote, Tim Scott would never vote against her, either.

[JI7]

49. I think he already said he will pick a black woman for the first opening that comes up

[patphil]

50. At 72, Hillary Clinton is too old.

We need someone, preferably a woman, who can help shape Judicial decisions for 30 years or more.
I would like to see someone like Katie Porter, or Stacy Abrams on the Supreme Court.

[DeanMH]

51. huge mistake

Nominate Hillary as v.p.? She was damaged goods in 2016 and she's still damaged goods in 2020. Time to think of the party's future and not live off of the past. I would bet it will be a woman v.p. nominee. If not, a black male.

[niyad]

57. Perhaps you misread the title? SCOTUS, not V.P

[Nitram]

52. Brilliant!

[yellowdogintexas]

54. Surely there are some Federal judges out there somewhere who are AA women. nt

[karynnj]

55. No.

Even if her background fit better, it would be better to pick someone younger. This is not to attack Hillary, I would say the same of John Kerry, who had a short, accomplished career as a lawyer and prosecutor when he was younger.

[OverBurn]

56. To old, we need someone young.

[Warren_Pointe]

58. Are you kidding? AG all the way!

[ibegurpard]

61. Fun revenge fantasy

But we need someone 30 years younger

[Ilsa]

62. As Capt Picard would say:

[not_the_one]

63. I agree that we need someone young to last a couple of generations, BUT

this would be about giving a woman her due...

And Biden is going to be able to appoint several more. Kavanaugh, Thomas, Gorsuch at a minimum. But first, Hillary could replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Hillary won the presidency by almost 3,000,000 votes, but lost due to Electoral College manipulation by the two biggest enemies of this country, Trump and Putin. And we did nothing. We should have been in the streets, but instead, we sat with our collective thumbs up our collective asses, because "technically" it was a win. But it was a technical win based on cheating.

We sat back and waited for deliverance by the "system". What we got was a toothless Mueller putting out a report that he refused to stand behind, a Roy Cohn attorney general in Bill Barr who blatantly lied about the report. Mueller could do nothing more than send a "strongly worded" letter, then fade into obscurity. EVERYONE knew he lied, but nothing was done. Barr said himself that Mueller could have filed indictments if he wanted. Still, Mueller did nothing. The judicial system works at such a glacial pace for manipulated political cases, by the time the issues involved are resolved it is moot, and no one gives a fuck any longer.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the most qualified people to ever win the presidency.

She deserves SOMETHING for her tireless work over decades, and for putting up with the most profound pile of shit ANY politician has EVER had to endure. WE OWE HER.

Besides, the republicans would clutch their pearls, fall on their fainting settee, and shit their pants while their head explodes. That alone would be worth it. This is one act of "revenge" that I am all in for.

Nothing would make me happier, and give me such hope for the future.

We would be so lucky, yet we really don't deserve her.
