Well, she either needs to go into public service or move into my guest room so I can worship her up close. Dealer’s choice.

Even if she had been locked in a bomb shelter for the last 20 years, she would be a better representative of my American dreams than Scalia ever was.

I love you for this post.

Please don’t pretend that jurisprudential acumen has been an absolute bright-line in the past.

I think Michelle would be better qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice today than Donald Trump currently is to become President ;-)

Neither of which are a requirement. She is compassionate and incredibly smart.

Experience is nice and all but I don’t think most voters care about that anymore. Michelle will sound smart talking policy and I think it’s credible to argue being first lady is a form of political experience. I would like to see her run for Senate and hold the seat for a few years but it’s not necessary. Not like…

You know that you don’t even need to be a lawyer to be on the SCOTUS, right? Anyone can be put on the bench, former law experience not required. Admittedly it hasn’t happened in like 60 years (1950's I think but I’m too lazy to Google), but still....

The only issue with that is that she can’t run for President which I truly hope she does. As someone else said, State or maybe HHS would be good fits.

She should run in 2024. Michelle has proven she gives one hell of a speech. She’s smart and likable. I would trust the Obama brand to run the country after the job Barack did. The United States needs a more diverse presidency and I think she is the best chance for a black woman to be President. Either her or…

True, it sure will! And she will do a phenomenal amount of good. But she will never have the satisfaction of knowing her career trajectory was her own after this. Sigh. I can’t pretend to know how she feels about it, but if this were me, it would really hurt. But she’s a better person than I am so she probably will…

I am so so excited to see what she does next!

Secretary of State?

I would love to see her come back in a few years and be US President herself in 2024 maybe? Or, she can come over here and be UK Prime Minister, as soon as she likes, we could do with the help.

“Because [Obama] said what she thought, and because she smiled only when she felt like smiling, and not constantly and vacuously...”

I really wish she was running for President.
