You could be right. However, that's the comparison I was drawing to Ted Kennedy. I just don't think she'd be happy with that, especially given that, under Senate tradition, she's still "just" the Junior Senator from New York.
The article I read where she "turned down" the court was not so much her saying she didn't want it, but more along the lines of "oh, I'm happy where I am and don't expect to be nominated." It wasn't a "if nominated I will not serve" sort of thing.
