MAGA Heads Explode After Joe Biden Hints At Nominating Barack Obama To Supreme Court

Link to tweet

It would be hard for Republicans to hijack this Obama SCOTUS nomination

Nominating a former president to the Supreme Court would be an uncommon occurrence, but it has happened once before when William Howard Taft was nominated to the court by Warren G. Harding in 1921.

The potential Supreme Court nomination of Barack Obama, though unlikely, would be hard for Republicans to stop, even if they remain in control of the Senate following the 2020 election.

After all, Obama isn’t just qualified for the position with his experience as president and as a civil rights attorney and constitutional law professor, but he isn’t plagued with a sexual misconduct scandal like Trump’s most recent SCOTUS pick, Brett Kavanaugh.

whether he would consider nominating Obama to the court, and he answered that he would if Obama was interested. How was he supposed to answer? No, I wouldn't consider him?
