It appears that Hillary Clinton is not on President Obama’s short list for the Supreme Court:
The White House moved quickly today to squelch the widening speculation that Hillary Clinton could be nominated to the Supreme Court, as Senator Orrin Hatch suggested this morning.

In the meantime, another name has entered the SCOTUS-stakes; former Chief Judge of the Georgia Supreme Court Leah Ward Sears.
The big news, though not surprising, is no Hillary.
