Obama for Supreme Court?

[The Black Forrest]

We need more diversity on the supreme court, its filled with old, white, privileged men.

Yeah like Thomas Clarence, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Ginsburg...

In any case there are plenty of brilliant legal minds that are "diverse." Obama is not and never has been one of those minds.

Clarence? Really? I would pick Obama over him.

[The Black Forrest]

Obama has done many great things, except I wish he was more progressive.

Whatever. Point is Obama is not qualified to be Supreme Court justice. Not even close to it.

*shrugs* What qualifications does he have to fulfill?

[The Black Forrest]

It would certainly be amusing to see the GOP react to Justice Obama.

Mannnnnnn. Just thinking of the process to get there. It would be a massive joke.......

[Ethopolis]

I'm no Democrat, but I think President Obama is a very intelligent and capable man. We'd be remiss to not consider him when an opening arises on the Supreme Court bench.

[The Black Forrest]

Another libtard in the Supreme Court? No

So edgy I cut myself.

To get more crap like homosexual marriage passed? What's next? Furry marriage? Child marriage? Object marriage? Waifu marriage?

I think furries can already get married.

And doesn't 'waifu' just mean wife? wouldn't it be redundant to marry your wife?

[Uramis Legion]

I hear he studied constitutional law, so why not.

No, I meant furry as in Furry and animal, like if you wanted to marry your cow. And some people call random anime characters waifus there's a lot of cringey videos of people and their waifus on Youtube you can go check them out

That's no way to talk about your wife.

Wait until I tell the people from the 2D universe how you talk about them.

You'll never see them coming.

Because they'll turn sideways, right?

[Infected Mushroom]

No, I'd rather appoint someone else who is more likely to do what I tell them to do and who thinks as I think.

That sounds awful in every way imaginable.

[Talvezout]

Eh, it could either way I think.

It's whatever Obama wants I guess.

[Nanayon]

You have got to be fucking kidding me...

[The Lone Alliance]

No.

Ah, because a marriage contract between two consenting adults is obviously the same as interspecies marriage, child marriage, marrying inanimate objects, etc.

[The Rich Port]

I totally forgot he was even an attorney by trade.

Sure, sounds like a great idea.

Only other president to be both was William Howard Taft and, ironically, THAT was his life-long dream as opposed to the presidency.

[USS Monitor]

I am not sure if he would be my first choice, but I would consider it.

Yes, please. I want the right to marry.

[Delator]

I have honestly been giving a lot of thought lately to what Obama might do post-presidency.

I do not think he would receive a nomination to the Supreme Court, even from a Democratic president, as it would be a poor precedent to set. Even if he did, I do not think he would accept the nomination, as I do not think Obama would want to serve in that position, even if his nomination was assured of passage.

I think it's possible he could return to Congress, as we've had two presidents do so before...I do not doubt for a second that Obama would win in any race in the state of Illinois in which he chooses to run.

Obama's former Senate seat is occupied by Mark Kirk, but Kirk is running for reelection this year, and it would be unseemly for a departing President to run against him. Obama won't run against Minority Whip Dick Durbin in 2020, so it would be 2022 before Obama could run for Senate in Illinois.

He could, however, aim for the House in 2018. Robert Dold's 10th District would swing a seat to the Democrats, but were he to run for the House I suspect Obama would try to angle for one of the already Democratic seats in the urban Chicago area rather than it's northern suburbs.

My honest opinion though is that Obama is burned out by National level politics after 8 years in the Executive branch. I think Obama will run against Bruce Rauner in 2018 and become Governor of Illinois. Rauner has already cast himself in the mold of the New Wave Republican Governor (blame unions for everything while locking in tax cuts for the wealthy, meanwhile swinging the budget ax at every government program that actually helps people)...I suspect Obama would win in a landslide.
