In Orrin's increasingly desperate attempts to scare up GOP cash, Hatch is proposing the ultimate nightmare scenario: Hillary Clinton in a long black robe.

Yes, Utah Sen. Hatch, as co-chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, actually sent out a call for cash saying an Obama presidency would mean Supreme Court Justice Hillary Rodham — presumably taking the seat that Orrin always coveted.
Already, whispers have started about who Barack Obama will appoint to the Supreme Court.
(Cue eerie organ music.)
His alleged first choice is Sen. Hillary Clinton.Who better to remake the courts into a political arm of the Democratic Party?

Because, as president, Barack Obama could appoint just about anybody to the the Supremes, it also is plausible that he would put Orrin's best buddy and early Obama supporter Sen. Ted Kennedy on the court.

I can hear songsmith Orrin's lyrics now:

Teddy, True of Heart, rode in on a white thoroughbred...

to save our God-kissed Constitution when it hung by a thread."*
I'm sure Rush Limbaugh and company would far prefer a Justice Chucky.

*To the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic.
