Vice President Joe Biden made it clear Friday how he feels about departing Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
"I think Janet Napolitano should be on the Supreme Court of the United States," he said Friday morning at her going away ceremony.
His statement was met with raucous applause by those attending, including current and former cabinet secretaries, law enforcement officials, and Attorney General Eric Holder.
Napolitano announced in June she would leave her current position this month. She's now preparing to start her next gig as president of the University of California system.
As President Barack Obama was choosing Supreme Court nominees in 2009 and 2010, Napolitano's name was floated as a potential contender to replace retiring Justice David Souter and Justice John Paul Stevens. He ultimately tapped Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, respectively, for the nominations.Read the full story HERE and view Biden's statement below:

Another Gem from the Poster Child for early stage Dementia.
Please no, NO, NO!! Although I wonder how much damage she'll do to the young people at the University of California, I don't want her to ever have that kind of power. She may have become Governor largely because she wasn't a Mormon in her first AZ Governor race against Matt Salmon. Matt is at least a native Arizonan not a New Mexico lib. I still regret losing that one.
Napolitano used Arizona and then cast us off like an old shoe when it didn't benefit her any more. Jan Brewer has had the cleaning up of her mess. The budget was especially bad. They passed all day kindergarten supposedly because"it helps keep kids from dropping out later on...." (a complete lie. There is no evidence that more schooling at an early age changes the drop out rate.) So now we have had to return to half day kindergarten unless the school districts fund it themselves. I have always been an opponent of all day kindergarten. The parents who want it most are working parents who are looking for taxpayers to pay for their daycare so they don't have to. I know it can be hard for them, but coming from (me) who has surrendered an entire income to look after my own kids, caring for their kids needs to be their own problem, not mine. Anyway, it had been a mess! Napolitano pushed this measure through knowing we couldn't afford it. There is nothing she did as governor, not as Homeland Sec. to want to honor her with anything. She's a mess.
