This would strategically be a fantastic concession. Actually now that I think about it, it is one hell of a strategic move. From Senator to Justice of the supreme court. Talk about branching out, and upping your rung on the ladder officially.

Plan B, is a brilliant stroke.

Especially if they tie it in with the need to reform our currency through disability law. It will take a Supreme Court Vote, after the local courts have their way with it. If Senator Clinton is in a position such as supreme justice when this law comes up to the plate. She has just pegged her legacy equal with her husband, as the saviors of our American democracy.
It could be an reset of inflation, by her hand.

Man I've got to comment on this stuff on TV, hehehe.

Does Hillary have the legal background to qualify for that?

First of all, which SCOTUS seats are in the for possible replacement? Who has made any noise as to retirement?

Here's how they line up:

Conservatives

Alito, Kennedy, Scalia, Roberts, Thomas

All relatively young and healthy. No changes there that I can see.

Liberals

Breyer, Ginsburg, Souter, Stevens

Stevens has expressed frustration at being on the losing team.

Also remember that a nominee is not an automatic appointment. The approval process is nasty.
