Ok, I'm a little puzzled about this speculation coming up every now and then. Could someone explain this to me? I mean, isn't Hillary not qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice? Don't you have to have judicial experience or be an expert on constitutional law to be a Supreme Court Justice? Someone with bigger brains than me explain what I'm missing.

Here in Texas, we elect our judges. No legal experience neccessary.

(kinda think it's scary)

Well, let's see.

There are no requirements for judicial experience per se in the Constitution, but law experience is needed. Before she got her Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School, HRH HRC interned at the Oakland-based firm of Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein, which included support for Constitutional rights among its specialties, and she was on the impeachment inquiry staff during Watergate, for starters.

Personally, I'd prefer to see her as Attorney General or Health Care Tsarina or (shhh, don't tell Sen. Reid) Senate Majority Leader, not least because she wouldn't be locked into a lifetime appointment for future reference, but there's nothing officially preventing her being nominated as a SCOTUS Justice.

If she's fine with that, though, it's fine by me. HRH HRC did good this week.
Am still misty over her move to nominate Obama by acclamation.

she's an attorney

if mccain wins we cant even have these discussion, can we...

not saying dont discuss it, saying if you supported hillary then you must support obama...must

maybe she could be a SC...i sure wouldnt mind

I say Impeach Alito. HRC for Chief Justice.

You know, I actually don't have a problem with Hillary being a Justice at all.

Imagine that.

Save for the Courts of Appeals and Supreme which are appointed, judges ARE generally elected (making the Republicans claims about "judicial activism" - otherwise known as justice - being unsupported by the voters particularly assinine).

However, as to the QUALIFICATIONS to hold such an office in Texas? I understand the requirements to be, uh... FLUID down in those parts....

You'd have to impeach Roberts for that.

Which I would also approve of doing.

Who wants a troll as Chief Justice?

You do not even have to be a lawyer to be on the Supreme Court.

Around the time the primaries ended, I remember hearing some talking heads saying that a Law Degree is the only requirement for SCOTUS, and Hillary would indeed be qualified (sorry, no source for that).

I believe Hillary would positively THRIVE on the day-to-day efforts of Defending The Constitution, without having to be embroiled in the ugly, gut-wrenching, and never-ending business of Politics.

So do I.

And you can bet that bullshit anti equal pay for equal work ruling never would have come down against women either.

Senate Majority Leader, would be nice.
