A Fox News poll (PDF download) has found that 23 percent of Democrats say Oprah “would make a good Supreme Court Justice,” while 71 percent say she wouldn’t.
Not surprisingly, the favorable votes are fewer for Republicans — 10 percent said she would make a good justice, 82 percent that she wouldn’t.
The thought of Oprah interpreting constitutional law is a very unwelcome one on a Wednesday morning — or at any time, for that matter. Doubtless, however, she would tally with the president’s desire for an “empathetic” justice.
Maybe Dr. Phil could fill the next vacancy? During oral arguments, I could easily see him telling counsel to “get real.”
