| Description | Former President Bill Clinton hopes that President Barack Obama will expand his search for a new Supreme Court Justice to those that haven't been a judge: and no, he's not talking about Hillary.
"The important thing, you think they are smart, competent and understand the lives of ordinary people," Clinton told ABC's Jake Tapper in an interview aired Sunday.
"One thing I think you should think about is, we've gotten -- have we gone too far in this process, that, assuming only judges can be elected, that somehow you're not qualified if you weren't a judge," Clinton said. "Some of the best justices in the Supreme Court in history have been non-judges." |
