I note with some interest (via a post from The Other McCain) that there are some Democrats still out there that are apparently seriously contemplating supporting the nomination of Governor Jennifer Granholm to the Supreme Court.
Granholm seen as possible fresh face
DETROIT, May 17 (UPI) — Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm would provide a fresh perspective to the U.S. Supreme Court if she is nominated by President Barack Obama, analysts say.
Yes, I suppose that the Governor would provide a ‘fresh perspective’ to the Supreme Court. To the best of my knowledge, no sitting Justice there has managed to almost double an entire state’s unemployment rate in five short years. Particularly when the national unemployment rate was trending downward for most of that time:

PS: Interestingly, this line of thought suggests that Rep Conyers hates Michigan, and wishes for it to suffer some more.

Kwame is Texas' problem now
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 10:48PM EST (link)He moved there in February TexasWatchdog: Kwame headed to Lone Star State and last we heard he did have a HIGH PAYING job handed to him. WHAT FIRM IS IT AND WHAT IS THEIR TIES TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY? is what we’d all like to know. He was whining to a court again recently that his couple hundred thousand Salary doesn’t afford him the chance to payback the restitution he was ordered.
The a—— should be driving a used Chevette and living in a Studio Apartment in the worst part of whatever town he is in so the CONVICTED FELON can pay up. Who else is, no doubt, funneling him some funds on the side and under the table??

obama cry for using Fair is not Fair to the hardworking taxpaying citizens of the United States
bobojake (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 8:24PM EST (link)Appointing Governor Jennifer Granholm to the Supreme Court would be Marxist FAIR. I haven’t liked obama and his thugs stealing taxpayers money and giving it to failing institutions so it pads his buddies hands. That is not Fair.
I’m sick of obama trying to redefine words to make him appear competent when he is the most unfair inconsiderate incompetent Marxist LIAR i HAVE KNOW IN 60 YEARS.
Appointing Governor Jennifer Granholm to the Supreme Court would be a disaster just like the Michagan economy is.

Just par for the course
TNJim (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 8:36PM EST (link)since nearly every other appointee to the cabinet or whatever has had some kind of scandal or has shown some kind of incompetence or just simply was the wrong fit for the job, Panetta’s standing up to Pelosi (so far) not withstanding. She’s ruined Michigan’s economy, Obama’s in the process of ruining the nation’s, so why not? Maybe he wants to see if she can apply the same ruination to the Constitution.
There's an upside to this

Of more interest to me was Conyers’ attempt to explain his actions to a group of progressives. I too would like to know what Conyers was talking about.

No win situation
Kyle-MI (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 9:43PM EST (link)As much as I would like to be rid of Granholm, wherever she would go, she would be replaced by someone just as bad or worse. There is no indication that those who supported her or voted for her have learned anything from this terrible situation. I am afraid that Michigan will need to get much worse before the majority asks themselves, “maybe we need to try something different”.
She'd be a perfect fit for the Supreme Court
