So I was reading US News and World Report yesterday at the gym- (okay that entire sentence is hilarious as I have rarely done either of these things this ENTIRE year) -and there was some speculation that WHEN Obama becomes president he would have sir hiliary on the short list for chief justice nominees. (if and when he’d get to nominate someone)

What do you think of that? I think I am somewhat indifferent on that one at the moment.

Expectations among Senate Democrats are rising that if elected president, Barack Obama will reward Sen. Hillary Clinton’s support with a Supreme Court nomination when one opens. “It’s the talk up here,” says a key Senate aide. While confirmation would be difficult, the move is being encouraged by her supporters as a way for Obama to acknowledge Clinton’s historic run for the White House. “It would have a more lasting impact than being president,” the aide says. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells us: “Her candidacy was just a bright, bright moment for us, and she may run again.”

So what do you think?
