Wow! What a great idea for a new book (fictional of course). A bad habit of mine is imagining intrigue, conspiracy and deception in many of the current events of the day.
...A young, ambitious attorney realizes a way to fulfill her grandiose dream of becoming a judge on the highest court in the land. First step - take no controversial stand on anything over the years so as not to offend anyone or reveal her true inclinations. Second Step - get appointed as a White House counsel to a United States President. It will take years to maneuver, manipulate and insinuate herself into the right place at the right time for this to happen. Third - over time learn all about the President's dirty laundry. Finally - when the time is right, threaten to reveal his damning secrets to the world if he does not give her the nomination for Supreme Court Justice. She is doggedly determined that her plan will work, allowing no one to stand in her way. Her plan succeeds and her true self is unleashed on an unsuspecting public.
Stranger things, I'm sure, have happened. Besides, it's not the real world, it's just fiction. Anything can happen in fiction.
