Bernie is a manipulative old curmudgeon who is as manipulative and corrupt as HillaryBeast, who just pretends to be the Peoples Savior. He just doesn't have the huge blackmail material I think the Beastie has (or think she does).

Or he is simply sick. :)

I think the talk of Obama being nominated and approved for SCOTUS is more an emotional nightmare than a realistic fear.

Several points:

1. He may have graduated, but as far as I know his college transcripts (and maybe even high school) are still completely under wraps. I doubt if he were Magna Cum Laude that would be the case. There's smoke and fire there. And unlike the Presidency, where he could worm his way out of revealing them, that won't work for a judicial committee evaluating a SCOTUS nominee. No one could reasonably argue that his transcripts are not relevant in this case.

2. He may not even want it. Especially if SCOTUS members can't make the big bucks that an ex-President can, while they serve. There were rumors in 2012 that he almost didn't run in order to get the money machine cranking sooner.

3. As a complete narcissist and none too bright, really, I doubt he really has any passion, interest (or respect) for Constitutional Law. Another reason, beside #2, that he may not want it.

4. Assuming the Senate stays R, and here is where I have to bite my cynical, not naive tongue, there is precedent for them simply not confirming him. I believe the applicable verb is "to Bork" him.

Doesn't mean he won't pardon Hillary, or refuse to indict, of course, because I'm sure the Clinton money machine and contacts they can provide could provide many other incentives to him besides SCOTUS.

I also do not know if you even have to be a lawyer in any case, I am sure any criminal background would be sufficient.

Unfortunately, he is:

President Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991 and was admitted as a lawyer by the Supreme Court of Illinois on Dec. 17, 1991. Prior to being elected to the Illinois state Senate in 1996, he worked as a civil rights lawyer at the firm formerly known as Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Four days after Obama announced that he would run for president in February 2007, he voluntarily elected to have his law license placed on “inactive” status, according to Grogan. Then, after becoming president, he elected to change his status to “retired” in February 2009.

Now, if you meant "he's no lawyer despite having a law degree and having done a little bit of practice" yes indeed. He also does not know crap about the constitution, but my view of SCOTUS is they sold out 10-20 years ago and their rulings are so nebulous and based on all kinds of "precedent, rulings, and fantasy" that he would probably fit right in and be worth 500 million by the time he either died or quit. Yes, I do believe you can by a SCOTUS ruling now. I also believe your rocks are much smarter than you paint them as. Especially with the Obamanation yardstick.

Weeds is fun, though. Now, depending whether the jurisdiction is where the server was, or where Hillary was, or where she worked from, when using the server, each of which could be Chappaqua, NY, or Huntsville, AL, or Manhattan, NY, or Washington, DC, the District Court for the relevant grand jury, would have to be either the Eastern District of New York, or Northern District of Alabama, or the Southern District of New York, or the District of Columbia itself, respectively. I wonder how they decide which district has jurisdiction. What a mess.
