Not that it would happen, but if Democrats do decide to expand the Supreme Court in response to Republican capture of the judiciary, it would make GOP heads explode if among others, they installed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on the Supreme Court.

We'd need at least 4*: Barack Obama, Katie Porter, and two other quite obviously not "conservative" judges. Katie Porter would be an excellent Justice because, even when we didn't like her decisions, they would be based on current law, rather than assumptions about what the Founders were thinking when they compromised on the wording in the Constitution. Rush would have an apoplexy; Carter would join him. We could point and laugh.
Hillary Clinton, I believe, has the good sense to not accept the position if offered. From what I hear, she's kind of enjoying being a private citizen, particularly when she can tweak the wingnuts' noses without them realizing it.

Would kind of be worth, right?
