Obama Doesn’t See Himself as a Supreme Court Justice

President Obama told Jeffrey Toobin that he’s not very interested in being on the Supreme Court, despite his background in constitutional law.

Said Obama: “I don’t think I have the temperament to sit in a chamber and write opinions. I love the law, intellectually. I love nutting out these problems, wrestling with these arguments. I love teaching. I miss the classroom and engaging with students. But I think being a Justice is a little bit too monastic for me. Particularly after having spent six years and what will be eight years in this bubble, I think I need to get outside a little bit more.”
