Hillary Clinton and President Obama (White House photo)
Democrat front-runner Hillary Clinton has a “great idea” that will make conservatives across America shudder if she becomes president: Nominate President Obama to the Supreme Court.
At a campaign rally in Decorah, Iowa, Tuesday, Clinton was asked about the possibility of nominating the 44th president to the high court.
“Wow, what a great idea,” she declared, according to the Hill. “Nobody has ever suggested that to me.”
Clinton continued, “He may have a few other things to do.”
Like many other justices on the court, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School. In 1990, Obama beat out 18 other contenders to become the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.
There have been several rumors surrounding Obama’s plans when he leaves office. A recent one says he is considering moving to New York to teach at Columbia Law School. Others claim he’s been eyeing the position of U.N. secretary-general.
Even if Obama were chosen to serve on the high court, his nomination would likely face opposition in the Judiciary Committee if Republicans retain control of the Senate. GOP presidential candidate and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, serves on the committee.
Clinton did point out that the next U.S. president could be responsible for nominating up to three Supreme Court justices, depending on which ones choose to retire.
“I think that the Supreme Court has been heading in the wrong direction,” she said.
