Politician on the SCOTUS. Makes as much sense as anything else these dimwits do.

Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm (D) says she’s once again on President Obama’s short list for appointment to the Supreme Court. In an interview with CNN, the term-limited governor says she has talked with people in the Obama administration about the upcoming nomination to replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens.
“It's a great honor to be on -- considered on the list,†said Granholm who went through this process last year with the opening that went to Sonia Sotomayor. She did not say if she’s spoken with the President who Fox News reported this past week held informal discussions with some of the people he’s considering.

Granholm, like Obama, holds a law degree from Harvard and appeals to some people who want the President to pick someone who is not currently serving as a federal appellate court judge. All nine members of the current Court were federal appellate judges before their elevation to the high court.
Granholm shares that interest saying, “I think it's a very wise move to consider experience that is not just from the judicial monastery because -- I mean not just me but Janet Napolitano, people that have applied the laws that Congress enacts, that have seen their impact on people, that -- you know, I mean I'm from the most challenged state in the country. And, you know, for somebody to experience and see what everyday people are feeling and experiencing out there, I think is an important thing to consider.â€

Awesome! She can go from destroying a state to destroying an entire nation! ::)

I'm sure whomever Obamba selects as his nominee for the Supreme Court will be every bit as "wise" a choice as Sotomayor.
:p

God... I just don't have anything to say about that...

Can't be any worse than Harriet Miers. But Barack Obama is no George W. Bush.

I agree with you Chris

What are y'all so worried about? She can bring her common sense ideas that have worked so well in Michigan to the national legal system. I'm sure we'd all be better off for it. :lmao:

Too bad there's no citizenship requirement for SCOTUS.

She looks all perky and everything.....just like Katy Cure-it of CBS news.
Just what we need on the SC....more liberal stupid.

We're going to get that no matter who he nominates, but in this gal's case he would be pulling in the non-judicial experience of abject failure as a governor, even Janet Napolitano looks like Einstein compared to her.

The Big O owes Granholm big time. She delivered Michigan to him in the primaries. Deals were cut...debts need to be paid. One of my good friends knows her and has advised her on occasion...he seldom says complimentary things about her.

If you could switch the brains of BO and Jenny DF Granholm, they would still be the same people.
