Why not Hillary, if she wants the gig ? She is smart..a hard worker and has been a good soldier for the Administration despite some rough treatment during the 2008 campaign. She has earned it.
Also, Hillary, through her years as First Lady, a US Senator and Secretary of State (plus all that work for the Rose Law Firm) has a different perspective on things than just someone hanging out in academia and the federal appeals courts.
And she is readily confirmable. As a former Senator, the bit of comity left in that body would help her.
It's the President's call and the Senate is still 59-41 Democrat. So you are going to get a left leaning justice. No point arguing that. I just think she would fit the bill at this time.
Unless Hillary wants to pick up the pieces in 2012 should President Obama's numbers continue to sink.

No judical experience - as Judge on any kind of bench ... no way... stop that rumor now.
Earl Warren was Governor of CA and he was Chief Justice....
Warrent had been elected Calif AG, too.
He was a vastly more liberal justice than had been anticipated, and President Eisenhower is said to have remarked that nominating Warren for the Chief Justice seat was "the biggest damned-fool mistake I ever made."
"Impeach Earl Warren" signs flew over Calif for years.
Love it! Then, appoint a Repub from a "safe district" to Hillary's old Sexy of State job so that a Dem has a shot at the vacant seat. Brilliant!
The real question is whether Hill could cause more damage as Prez or as a Supreme Court justice. Its a close call.
With the impending disaster of the Great One's presidency there is a strong possibility she could be elected prez. And with all the illegal voting and people who love free stuff there's a good chance she could win.
