I just read the two stories in the initial post to suggest that she be offered the job based on her current experience. The author of the Post piece says that her experience as an attorney and Senator should be enough, but I think it's highly unlikely that such a candidate would be confirmed.
If she were to take a job at Yale/Harvard/Chicago, etc., get appointed to a federal circuit, or start taking on SCOTUS cases, then it would definitely be a different story. Maybe she could do something similar to Laurence Tribe, taking an academic position while also making herself available to argue certain cases. It might be easier for her to go the academic/advodacy route, rather than go through an extra confirmation hearing.
Does anyone know if she has any appellate advocacy experience? I'm pretty sure she's never argued before the Supreme Court, but I didn't know if she regularly argued in federal court when she was practicing law previously.
