Hillary on the Supreme Court?
This came up on TV yesterday, and it struck me immediately as a bad fit. Hillary's strengths are political. She is dogged in her pursuit of whatever she wants, she fights like heck, and she is willing to play dirty to get it. These qualities don't turn me on, which is why I'm an Obama supporter, but I am not immune to their effectiveness and, perhaps, necessity, at times. Her ambition and perseverance don't make sense for a position that requires a philosophical approach to problems and absolutely no politics whatsoever, given the lifetime appointment. At the risk of sounding like I think my candidate is best at everything!!!, I honestly think Obama is better suited for the Supreme Court.
Hillary is best in the Senate. She keeps her eye on the ball and goes for it, whatever it is. If we realize that that all along it has been to be President, it explains her war mongering (Iraq vote, Iran talk) and pandering on flag issues. What we need to remember is if her new it becomes something like health care in an Obama administration, she will be a formidable force. She would frankly be wasted on the Supreme Court.
