WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said Monday it won't
hear arguments that Hillary Rodham Clinton is ineligible to be secretary
of state because of an obscure rule about pay increases.
The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal by Judicial Watch,
a conservative watchdog group, without ruling on the underlying issue.
Judicial Watch's lawsuit had been thrown out by the lower
courts without a "final judgment, decree or order upon the validity of
the appointment and continuance in office of the Secretary of State,"
the high court said. "… The appeal is therefore dismissed for want of
jurisdiction."
