Vice President Joe Biden does not want to serve on the Supreme Court. But, he signaled to MSNBC, it would be hard for him to pass on the opportunity if offered by the president of the United States.
Biden made the comments in an interview with MSNBC:
“I’m going to throw you a curve ball,” said MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. “Just this afternoon a Senate source has told MSNBC that it is beyond just idle chatter that there’s been some significant discussion that you might conceivably be the president’s choice, especially under these unusual political circumstances. Talk about one person who could get through and nobody else could. If the president asked you to do it, would you say yes?”
“You never say to a president for certain you wouldn’t do anything,” Biden said, leaving the door open to accepting the nomination if offered. “I have no — look at me now — I have no desire to sit on the Supreme Court. None. It would be great honor for anyone but I have no desire anymore than George Mitchell did.”
