Sure. Somebody who lights up the White House in rainbow colors should go in as Chief Justice who can separate personal opinion versus the Constitution. Very bad idea.

SPC Andrew Griffin - I am sure someone better versed can answer the question. He was the Chief Justice of the court. He sort of started the whole legal precedence for segregation in schools with Lum v. Rice and police being able to search based on probable cause. Also, he was part of the Insular Cases which resulted in U.S. citizens, who are inhabitants of U.S. territories (like Puerto Rico), not being able to enjoy their full Constitutional rights.

If he's not in office then yes, he could be nominated. Taft was appointed to the Supreme Court following his Presidency. That said, he'd never be approved.
