After a briefing on nuclear security Monday afternoon, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs took a question about the possibility of Supreme Court Justice State Hillary Clinton. He did not dodge the question. “I think the president has identified in Secretary Clinton a job he thinks she is doing–a capacity in which she is doing a wonderful job,” Gibbs said, “and the president is going to keep her as his Secretary of State.”
Gibbs added that there would be “many weeks to spin the big wheel and play the name game,” suggesting that the White House is not in any rush to come forward with a nominee to replace Justice John Paul Stevens.
