You know who would truly make a great UN General Secretary? Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator on Brexit.... my hat is off to that guy - he knew exactly the right line to take to divide the British Conservative party. I think having him mediate global confrontations would do wonders... he'd have both sides of any conflict so busy fighting themselves that they wouldn't have any time to fight each other!
As for Supreme Court, I'd leave it to the pros... I'd like to see an Appellate nominee with a good head on their shoulders, and preferably not on the DC Circuit. I'm thinking Jane Kelly out in the 8th Circuit would be an awesome pick.
Plus... she graduated from Harvard Law in '91 - the same class as Barack Obama and Neal Gorsuch.
her academic record is pretty strong but not quite the level of the last several USSC justices-she was not a harvard Magna which is usually the top 50 people in a class as was Obama or Gorsuch and certainly not in Robert's league (first). However, I'd hate to be defending a criminal accused of assaulting a jogger in a court where she is presiding.
