Gore for Supreme Court?

[skjpm]

I wonder if Gore got a shot at the Supreme Court by endorsing Dean? He'd be a good choice, and it would be wonderfully ironic.

1. we'd have to take the senate

for that to happen. but it is doable. everything is doable.

2. No, we'd have to take 60 Senate seats...

GOP wouldn't go for Gore.

3. I think it would be hard for the GOP to vote against him

They might not like it, but I think they'd have to acknowledge his statesmanship and vote him in.

5. Gore was a lawyer?

[juajen]

4. I think you need to be a lawyer to become a judge of any kind,

doncha? Am I wrong? I know he was a journalist, but does he have a law degree?

[ringmastery]

6. I think he dropped out of law school

could be wrong.

7. Don't leave him alone with Scalia. (n/t)

[Wonk]

8. Um, wouldn't he have to finish law school and pass the bar exam first?

(just for starters)

9. Don't have to be a lawyer

Not required for the Supreme Ct.

Betcha Scalia would get a bodyguard.
