Bill Clinton back in power?

[Gilding the Lily]

What will Hillary do with Bill if she is elected?

A. He’ll be appointed to serve the remainder of Hillary senate term
B. Make him ambassador to the world
C. Leave him free to roam as the nations First Lad
D. Nominate him for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court


Apparently, some seem to think that "D" is the correct answer!

This author thinks that Clinton would likely prefer a seat on the Supreme Court to one in the senate. "Instead of being one of a 100 he would be one of nine," he writes. "And like the late Associate Justice William Brennan, he would have the personality to influence outcomes on the court" especially given its currently teetering 5-to-4 composition" disproportionately to his single vote."

There is precedent for an ex-president joining the Supremes "William Howard Taft. The author points out some similarities. " For example, both started out in life as law professors Taft at the University of Cincinnati and Mr. Clinton at the University of Arkansas, he writes. "Mr. Clinton also shares with Taft a warm, gregarious personality that is well received at home and abroad."

Bill can prefer it all he wants, that's assuming he actually does. However if Hilliary is elected I would not bet on it happening. She knows the firestorm that would erupt. My guess is that even those in her own party would not be that enthusiastic about it. And lets face it, there are judges who are more qualified than he is to sit on the supreme court.

Yeah...a dude who was impeached and almost disbarred for lying would serve well as a Supreme Court Justice.

The writer of this article is Douglas Kmiec, former assistant attorney general and head of the Office of Legal Counsel to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. He is a currently a professor of constitutional law at Pepperdine University, where Kenneth Starr is the dean of the law school. He is also an unpaid legal adviser to the Romney campaign.

As an aside, according to Kmiec, President Clinton was not disbarred. His law license was suspended. The suspension ended in 2006.

Notable disbarments

The 20th Century saw one former U.S. president and one former U.S. vice-president disbarred, and another president resign from the bar rather than face disbarment.

Former Vice President Spiro Agnew, having pleaded no contest (which subjects a person to the same penalties as a guilty plea) to charges of bribery and tax evasion, was disbarred from Maryland, the state of which he had previously been governor.

Former President Richard Nixon was disbarred from New York in 1976[2] for obstruction of justice related to the Watergate scandal.

In 2001, former President Bill Clinton resigned from the Supreme Court bar rather than face near-certain disbarment[3]. In a separate, but related action, the Arkansas bar moved to disbar Clinton, but offered a deal that saw him suspended for five years.[4] Because he was allowed to reapply to the bar after the suspension ended in 2006, his punishment is not considered disbarment. Because disbarment is not always permanent[1], his punishment was functionally identical to disbarment.

So theres your impeccable source speaking out of both sides of its mouth.

I have a gut feeling Barack is the man......all too many have grown weary of the Clintstone mystique.
She's so friggin' experienced..why then when she gets a bad poll she runs home to Bill?
Bill will most likely alienate more than he recruits.Its like an inverse of him and her before.Two for one.Besides she looks like crap.Anyone see her on little Katies show about losing her temper?
She gave this carefully crafted appeal to all answer about losing her temper that was so phony it wasn't funny.
Seems through all the scandals and recent failings in the campaign and such the only time she lost her temper was when the dog had to make doo doo at 3 in the morning....and she did forgive the little guy....
What an ass.

Is it just me, nurse ratched looks like the campaign trail is taking its toll and she's aging quickly.

Just an observation. Some of you seem to be letting your sexism show through. I do not care for her politics either. I am a bigger fan of Obama. How ever, the comments about her appearance and insults related to appearance are quite in appropriate. No one is commenting on McCain's looks, Huckabee's looks or for that manner, any male candidates looks. I guess the feminist movement still has a ways to go before women are treated equal to men.

She looks like witch and you can use it with a 'B' too.

Its becoming more clear why bill had to resort to monica!

 

[Garfield1966]

What does a persons physical characteristics have to do with their ability or lack there of, to provide leadership?

Both of you appear to be sexist and have a double standard.

I never claimed that Wikipedia is infallible.

In this case, Douglas Kmiec, a noted conservative constitutional scholar who is far from being a Clinton fan or apologist, is correct.

Concerning your assertions that Wikipedia was wrong about your favorite conservative pundit du jour, whose name escapes me, I am still waiting for you to point out where his Wikipedia biography was in error.

How different is that from the present group that ushered in the "Banana Republic" era? The Supreme Court has NEVER been a bastion of quality and honor i.e. "separate but equal", Slavery, Jim Crow laws...the list goes on.

They flushed quality down the toilet with the ANOINTMENT of George Bush AGAINST the will of the American people.

Bill Clinton lied regarding a personal matter that should have NEVER been the business of Congress (and brought down how many of his accusers afterwards, the ones preaching the moral high ground while hiding their love children and adulterous affairs). George Bush lied for profit and the deaths of THOUSANDS.

I'll take Bill.

On that note...Ron Paul is my man. His 30 years in Congress is enough proof that what you see is what you get. The others...well, let's just say after winning...SURPRISE!
