Hillary Clinton Mulls Nominating Obama to Supreme Court
BALTIMORE, Maryland January 27, 2016 - Even as the FBI closes in on recommending a multi-count indictment of the leading Democratic candidate for President of These United States, the candidate herself told a gathering in Iowa that the idea of nominating President Barack Hussein Obama to the Supreme Court is very appealing. While insisting that, before yesterday, she had never considered the possibility of nominating Obama, she called the idea "very appealing" and said she would give it serious consideration.
According to the New York Times, Clinton responded to a suggestion from the audience that she nominate the President by saying: “Wow, what a great idea. Nobody has ever suggested that to me. Wow. I love that.”
Other questions and comments from the audience also dealt with the candidates views on the nation's highest court. At one point, Clinton said, "We need new justices who actually understand the challenges we face." Later, she lamented that some justices apparently made decisions based on "naivete." The candidate, however, named no names and did not cite to any court decisions that formed the basis for her comments."
Both Clinton and Obama are uber Leftists who support many anti-American poilicies. As many as four openings could occur on the Supreme Court during the next four years, giving the next President the opportunity of naming up to four new Supreme Court Justices and building a solid majority of either liberals or conservatives, depending on who the president is. Today, the Court is split between the three consdervatives (Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito, Jr., four liberals (Stephen Brayer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan), and two so-called fence-sitters (Chief Justice John G. Roberts and Anthony Kennedy). President Obama has nominated two justices: Sotomayor and Kagan, and they are among the most leftist justices ever to sit on the Court.
The justices who are among the oldest are Scalia, who will turn 80 on March 11, Ginsburg, who will be 83 on March 15, Kennedy, who will turn 80 on July 23, and Brayer, who will be 78 on August 15. None of the GOP candidates for President have suggested potential Supreme Court nominees except Donald Trump, who has said that his sister would be an outstanding candidate for the Supreme Court. According to Wikipedia, "Maryanne Trump Barry (who is 78 and was born on April 5, 1937) is a Senior United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit."
Trump has not backed away from this suggestion even though his politics have moved far to the right while his sister is regarded as a very liberal judge.
Many political pundits have suggested that if someone other than Senator Ted Crews becomes the GOP Presidential nominee and gains the White House, that Crews would be an outstanding choice for the Supreme Court.
