All-purpose justice

If Hillary Clinton is elected president, she should nominate Michelle Obama to fill the vacant Supreme Court position. Obama is intelligent, eloquent, female, a member of a minority, and she will write evenhanded opinions. A fine choice.

Obama is intelligent, eloquent, female, a member of a minority, and she will write evenhanded opinions. A fine choice.
