Feb 2013

but, I'd prefer that she's president from 2016-2024. With Obama and then Clinton holding office for 16 years, it would mean that one of them has a chance to replace Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, Alito or Roberts on the Supreme Court. Chances are not all five would be there for another 11 years. Though, I think Scalia, Thomas and Alito are partisan enough to hold on until death if a Democrat were president, and Roberts is still relatively young.
