Michaelangelo Signorile is smart guy

He just said something on his program on Sirius that I thought was very interesting. He was discussing the need for some kind of "sit down" where all the big mockers in the Democratic party hammered out an agreement with Hillary and Obama. He brought up the idea that one doesn't necessarily have to settle for VP. He was saying what if Obama would put Hillary on the Supreme Court or if she made him Secretary of State. It would have to be something big like that. I think that is a rather interesting idea.

1. She'd be fine on the Supreme Court.

I just believe that she is a warmongering hawk, and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near control of nuclear weapons. She's just a bit too enthusiastic about PREEMPTIVELY (illegally) 'defending' the U.S. to me. In her zeal to 'get' 'terrorists,' many innocent civilians will perish, as they did in Israel's last raid.

Most times, I enjoy listening to Signorile.

2. Well, SHE can appoint HIM in her cabinet...

...that would make sense if he doesn't want to be her VP.

7. Why does anyone think she would survive a filibuster?

It's just not going to happen. And imagine how much money the pukes could raise with talk of Hillary going on the court.

10. Because we don't have enough votes

There would be MASSIVE pressure against the republicans to filibuster her and they would do it in a second.

4. What's so smart about it? That topic comes up DU all the time

not to mention many other forums. Therefore we're smarter than him, since we thought of that possibility long ago (hint: I am not being 100% serious).

8. I'd like to see her make Roberts' life a miserable hell on the Court

Then she could become Chief Justice and start leaning on Alito. :thumbsup:

11. Let's just say....

that as interesting ideas go, the idea of a Justice Hillary Clinton is one very interesting idea.

Mike Signorile is a pretty smart guy.
