Sen. Orrin Hatch says he's heard Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's name mentioned in connection with the Supreme Court vacancy brought about by the retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens.

Hatch didn't say in an interview Monday in what context he heard Clinton's name dropped. Appearing with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy on NBC's "Today" show, the Utah Republican said only, "I heard Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's name today and that would be an interesting person in the mix."

Hatch wouldn't say whether he'd support Clinton. But he did say "I like Hillary Rodham Clinton" and said he thinks she's done a good job for Democrats. Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, retorted: "I think she's done a good job for the country, not just for Democrats."

Does it really even matter anymore? :p :wink:

Not that I support Hillary- but under the Constitution, you don't have to even be a lawyer to be a SCOTUS Justice.....
And I'm not yet convinced that it wouldn't be better to appoint some non-lawyers- thoroughly versed in the ways/happenings of the world- than the lawyers...


Supreme Court of the United States: There are no specific Constitutional requirements in order to be appointed a Justice.

She would be tough to deny on qualifications--Law Degree- former law clerk, practicing attorney, elected Attorney General of Arizona, appointed US Attorney of Arizona (and confirmed by the Senate), elected Governor of Arizona, appointed Secretary of Homeland Security (confirmed by the Senate).....
Any denial would have to be purely on partisan BS basis...

Altho Hillary would have to be a "shoe-in" with her being a former Senator- and the Senates good old boy system of you don't tell what you know on me, and I won't tell what I know on you....

OT, "Any denial would have to be purely on partisan BS basis..."

Uhhhh, how about when she showed her common sense with the comment, "The system worked"? What about when she put returning vets on the terrorism list?

Being on SCOTUS requires good judgement (unless you're an Obama appointee, then race and sex matter, even though that is discrimination and supposed to be bad :roll: ). Good judgment - Napolitano ..... I rest my case.

My guess would be you enjoyed it and kept going back for more. :oops:

Well.......she does have a good bit of experience in hiding records from a Grand Jury.

Doesn't that in itself qualify her for this admin? :lol: :lol:
