WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it would be "a great idea" to appoint President Barack to the Supreme Court if she were president.
At a campaign event Tuesday in Decorah, Iowa, Clinton was asked whether she would consider nominating Obama to the bench.
"Wow, what a great idea. Nobody has ever suggested that to me," she said. "He may have a few other things to do."
Obama is certainly qualified. He graduated from Harvard Law -- the same alma mater as more than half of the current justices -- and was the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review. He also worked as a civil rights attorney and constitutional law scholar.
