Ruth Bader Ginsburg was hospitalized overnight for treatment of anemia. Seems anemia is a side effect of the chemotherapy she is receiving for her pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is a hard cancer to beat. Let's hope the 76 year old justice can win this battle. Does anyone remember who was number two and three on the list behind Sonya Sotomayor?

He should nominate Palin.

The hearings alone would be worth it.

That would be a good show, but I don't think Sarah is a lawyer, is she?

There's nothing in the Constitution that says you have to be a lawyer in order to be on the Supreme Court.

Given some of the decisions the current court has made I'd say that clowns, serial killers, car salesmen and Delta Burke might do a better job.

How right you are. Since there are no set rules or qualifications for a Supreme Court nominee, my ten year old nephew could sit on the court if nominated by the president and passed by the senate. That being said, I do not believe there has been a Supreme Court justice in our history that has not been a lawyer.

Delta Burke was hot. Just sayin'.

Although all Supreme Court justices have been lawyers some have not been judges, Earl Warren being one example.

I think the court needs more diversity. Seriously, being a lawyer is nice and all, but if it's all lawyers that really limits them.

I think adding someone like Michael Jordan who could bring a good jump shot or Jenna Bush who could teach them how to do Jager shots would balance things out.

I think Bill Clinton or Al Gore might be a good choice.

Maybe Obama could appoint this guy...





...so Scalia can have some company.

If he appointed Glenn Beck, Beck would shut up.

Don't count on it. The guy doesn't know when to shut up.

If he ain't talking, he's bawling.

I think former President Clinton is a perfect choice for the nomination. Qualified and would add great charisma to the court.

I agree.

And I think President Taft served on the Court after his term.

I would sure like to see this happen, although I don't believe Clinton would take the job. He is having too much fun doing what he does now. How about Al Gore?

[smoker]

Clinton wouldn't take it.

Right now he gets to hang out in the cool part of Harlem and travel the world banging discreet chicks wherever he goes.

He'd never trade that for the type of non-media existence the Supreme Court demands.

Do you think he would risk the wrath of Hillary?

[Beer Chang]

Woodward's book about the Supreme court was pretty good. Made Burger look like an idiot though.

I think after all these years and the crap he has done, Bill has Hillary very well trained.
