Someone posted this today as part of a joke (How the Conservatives will lose their shit when President Clinton nominates him for Supreme Court), but it was interesting to think about.
I'd be against it, despite thinking that Obama is an incredibly thoughtful (in the academic sense) person with a lot of knowledge in Constitutional Law.
Because I think he's too much of a compromiser. It works for statesmanship, but not for Supreme Court decisions, I think?
I was going to say also because I wonder how much real-world breadth he has. But then, I thought, maybe he has a good amount.
Anyway, was looking for further discussion and thoughts on the hypothetical.
