In a guest post for SCOTUSblog
President Obama
has described his criteria
for nominating the next
Supreme Court justice.
His ideal candidate
would have "a sterling record"
"a deep respect
for the judiciary role"
and "an understanding of the way
the world really works."
Even staunch Obama-haters
would do well to consider
whether Sarah Palin
to whom it would be only fair
if Donald Trump gave
some political office
(if not the Vice Presidency)
in return for her skilled campaigning
on his behalf
would be the best person
for this role.
