Obama Makes Massive Move To Become Next Supreme Court Justice After Presidency According to recent rumors, President Obama may not be ready to hand over his power with the 2016 elections. As it turns out, he may be planning to move to the Supreme Court once his final term is over. Before becoming president, Obama was the head of the Harvard Law Review and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. In 2008, he made comments about the best justices having been former politicians. We need somebody whos got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what its like to be a young teenage mom, Obama said, referring to Earl Warren, who he reportedly idolizes. The empathy to understand what its like to be poor, or African America, or gay, or disabled, or old. What do you think? Does Obama need to stay as far away from the law as possible?
