He clerked for Rehnquist.
I kinda wonder if there might a strategy of replace O'Conner with someone more in the mold of Rehnquist and then replace Rehnquist with someone more in the mold of Scalia. That would move the court a lot to the right but wouldn't be as dramatic as replacing O'Conner with a hard line right winger.
Prior to, Cindy. When Starr was the Solicitor General, '89-'93.
Hillary is losing points with me with this Grand Theft Auto BS. Did she learn nothing from Tipper?
Are Hillary and Bill still married? Why did I think they were separated or divorced?
I like Hillary and I think she'd make a good President, but I think it would be horrible if she ran. I can only imagine how bad the smear campaign would be against her.
I would feel a little uneasy about the prospect of the 43rd President being the son of the 41st and then the 44th President being the wife of the 42nd.
This. I'm really uncomfortable with the dynastic thing. Plus, I think she can do more valuable work in the Senate -- I'd rather have her building ideas and policies and coalitions than serving the public-symbol role, which she just doesn't do as well.
(Or maybe I'm just cranky because the presidency obviously belongs to secret political boyfriend Obama)

This, too. Bah.
I can't imagine how nasty the 2008 election will get if Hillary is the Dem canidate.
I want Hillary to stay in the Senate until 2013, when President Obama will appoint her to the Supreme Court.
I can dream.
Yeah, the far right has a hate-on for the Clintons as if they were vocal athiests who made their money producing gay porn, so if there's another viable Democrat candidate I'd rather run someone they can't rally quite as much vitriol about.
That said, my plan is to register as a Republican in the next year and vote for as many moderates in primaries as I possibly can. (Actually, if McCain gets the nomination in 2008 I'd vote for him over most of the Democrats except Barak Obama.)
