Hatch: Hey, How About Supreme Court Justice Hillary?

Doesn't this present an interesting quandary? Do we support getting her out of State, thereby preventing any further bungling incompetence and alienation of our allies? Or is the risk of having her on the Supreme Court for life too much to bear?

Big upside: The robe will prevent us from seeing those hideous pantsuits and believe me, that's a huge plus.

Sen. Orrin Hatch says he's heard Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's name mentioned in connection with the Supreme Court vacancy brought about by the retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens.

Hatch didn't elaborate in an interview Monday. Appearing with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy on NBC's "Today" show, the Utah Republican said only, "I heard Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's name today and that would be an interesting person in the mix."

Hatch wouldn't say whether he'd support Clinton. But he did say "I like Hillary Rodham Clinton" and said he thinks she's done a good job for Democrats.

Let's face it. She'd breeze through confirmation hearings since she's a known commodity. It would also spare Obama any further political damage rather than going the far left route that's sure to rifle feathers in an already heated atmosphere.

Unless he's really itching for a fight, it would be a safe pick. Whether her legal acumen is up to snuff we'll let the lawyers out there decide that. Any thoughts?
