Janet Napolitano Would Step Down – When Obama Names Her to the Supreme Court

janet-napolitanoThis story actually came out about two weeks ago, but we missed it. Thankfully NewsBusters picked up the story originally posted at National Review Online on December 15th. Chuck Todd, NBC’s official White House slurper was on the Laura Ingraham radio show and revealed something rather interesting. When Laura Ingraham asked Todd on her radio show which Cabinet official would leave next, Todd said it would be Janet Napolitano — so she can serve on the Supreme Court. Chuck Todd said this:

Personally, he likes her probably more than any other cabinet secretary outside of [Robert] Gates on a personal comfort zone. She almost got it the last time. I think, you know, he’s determined to put somebody who’s actually run for elective office on the Supreme Court. You know, we’re in the first Supreme Court, I think in a hundred years, that hasn’t had somebody with elective office experience at any point in time. He’s talked about wanting that as a criteria….He’s a big fan of hers.
