Bill's Next Job: Supreme Court?

She may not have gotten off to a great start in Iowa, but a Hillary Clinton victory in November could give the family access to the only branch of federal government it hasn't cracked yet, CNN's Bill Mears writes—the judicial branch.

Hillary Clinton became a viable candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination," Mears writes.

"You may recall recent trial balloons that Mr. Clinton was perhaps interested in becoming UN secretary-general," one analyst said. "If he is grasping for a similarly large stage to fill his ambitions and ego, what better place than the nation's highest court, where he could serve for life if he wanted?" Counters one attorney/blogger: "This particular idea has zero chance of coming true." (More Bill Clinton stories.)
