Napolitano in Place of Roberts
I would want Chief Justice Roberts to retire. As Shapiro (2014) notes, he was the Justice who "changed the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate into a tax and thus rescued President Obama's signature legislation." For this reason alone I would want him to retire. The ACA has done nothing but benefit the health care cartel and I would want a Justice on the Supreme Court who recognizes that and would not invent ludicrous ways to re-interpret legislation that would not actually benefit the people of the U.S. but rather the cartels that are bleeding individuals dry with outrageous premiums and prices for health care. I would want a judge who was honest and fair and understood the Constitution.
For that reason, I would nominate Judge Andrew Napolitano. He understands what truth and honesty are and I always appreciate his candor and perspective on issues that affect us in today's world. He also understands corruption when he sees it and perfect example of this is the case against Hillary Clinton, which Napolitano identifies as "overwhelming, damning and, from her perspective, grave"...
Not only does Napolitano know how to interpret the law and apply it accordingly, he is not beholden to any of the corporatist political elite establishment (like the Clintons and much of Congress). He is the former Judge of the New Jersey Superior Court (1987-1995) and espouses libertarian principles. He is also a Roman Catholic like Justice Roberts, although when it comes to using reason instead of obfuscation and upholding the principles of a Catholic worldview, Napolitano is far more admirable than Roberts, who bends like a reed in the wind.
Since his time as a Judge in New Jersey, Napolitano has served as a media analyst on Fox, giving coherent and critical assessments of party politics. He has a better grasp on the economic pitfalls surrounding the Keynesian economy today and he defends the Constitution with all his heart -- something we need on the Supreme Court, as those who are there seem to think little of shredding it or of re-interpreting it so as to be able to benefit and do the bidding of the corporatist cartels that run America.
He is pro-life which is something I agree with, although I believe that, along with Ron Paul, it should be a states' right issue (simply because it is not something the federal government should be…

Hillary Clinton and Leadership No other First Lady in recent history has been as admired and vilified as Hillary Rodham Clinton. Breaking from the mold of her immediate predecessors, Clinton has more in common with her earlier counterparts, like Eleanor Roosevelt, Dolly Madison, Abigail Adams or Mamie Doud Eisenhower. However, many of her predecessors wielded a tremendous amount of power simply through their access to the president. Nancy Reagan, for example, would
Hillary Clinton Personality A person cannot develop apart from what they were initially given and what happens to them on a day by day basis. The subject of this report is no different in that respect, but she is very different from most with regard to her ambition and life course. Hillary Clinton was the First Lady of the United States when her husband Bill Clinton was president from 1993 until early
Standing strong on important issues like universal health care and putting a stop to the war in Iraq, Clinton led a strong presidency that only seemed to fall apart after Super Tuesday, when Obama's lead left Clinton in the dust. But it is Clinton's unlikely victory in Texas that best represents the female candidate's struggle. A unique mixture of success and failure in the state and in the nation
Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR): Bush administration has been criticized for favoring drilling operations in the Wild Life Refuge while Hillary Clinton has not been in favor of drilling there. She has called for limited (safe) drilling and injecting more money and efforts into research for of renewable energy, energy efficiency and other alternates.

There are many pleas for convincing the audience that she truly wants them to support Obama, but the most powerful is: want you to ask yourselves: Were you in this campaign just for me? Or were you in it for that young Marine and others like him? Were you in it for that mom struggling with cancer while raising her kids? Were you in it for that boy and his mom
Encomium on Hillary Clinton In recent history, no other First Lady has engendered as much admiration and criticism as Hillary Rodham Clinton. While her immediate predecessors were content to wield their influence indirectly or to busy themselves with uncontroversial social projects, Clinton follows in the footsteps of their earlier counterparts. Indeed, Clinton has much more in common with first ladies like Abigail Adams, Dolly Madison and the outspoken Eleanor Roosevelt. Unlike First
