[CBSNews]. Hillary Clinton on Tuesday said she was open to appointing President Obama as a Supreme Court justice.
Clinton acknowledged that the next president might have the opportunity to appoint several Supreme Court justices. Nearly half of the court -- four of the nine justices -- has served on it for 20 to 30 years and are either over the age of 80 or approaching it.
"We need new justices who actually understand the challenges we face," Clinton said.
We need Justices that believe the Constitution means what it says. Is Hillary offering this to get Obama to put the kibosh on any possible charges? Is this Obama's price for doing so? Inquiring minds want to know. |
