Vice President Joe Biden lavished praise on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano as he bid farewell Friday at her going away ceremony.
“I think Janet Napolitano should be on the Supreme Court of the United States,” Biden said, as quoted by CNN.
Napolitano had been on President Barack Obama’s shortlist of potential Supreme Court nominees in 2009 and 2010, but that distinction was ultimately bestowed upon Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
Napolitano stepped down from the Department of Homeland Security to lead the University of California system as its first-ever female president.
