Over the cubicle walls, dear Over the cubicle walls, dear Ezra wants to know what I think of the idea of Hillary Clinton on the Supreme Court. In short, I think she'd be just as good at that job as she would be as Governor of New York, since both positions would take full advantage of her hard-working wonk tendencies and her interest in domestic policy issues. And goodness knows, we could use another female, pro-choice justice.
But like Ezra's commenter "g," I'd be concerned Hillary as a justice would begin a trend of even further politicizing the Court by opening it up to career politicians. Granted, the Court is already totally politicized. But at least now it has less the appearance of being that way.
