Asked if she would consider appointing Obama to SCOTUS, Clinton marvels she's never been asked that question, calls it a "great idea."
Did you guys hear about this?

A William Howard Taft tea. Obama would be a great Justice, tbh. He was the president of the Harvard Law Review and taught constitutional law at Chicago Law for twelve years.
Realistically, it wouldn't happen. The Senate wouldn't appoint him. Justices theoretically have to be neutral, and Obama couldn't really argue to the Senate that he doesn't have a partisan agenda when he's been a Democratic president for eight years. Not to mention that the GOP will continue going after Obamacare and I sincerely doubt they'd want Obama on the court.

Maybe in Hillary's second term or with the next Democratic president, but I don't see it happening.
