I think she would make a great supreme court justice. |
I don't think she'd go for it. The Senate is more powerful in terms of crafting legislation. She loves being in the circles of power and there are just too many restrictions on a justice being overtly political. It's a good place to go once you've been president, or your active political career is winding down, but not before.
