What do you think- will she recuse or no?"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

If she respects the the court she will.. But I'm not banking on it..0
-
Again, there is no legal reason for her to recuse...
This is a purely political/partisan attack based on her
previous employment, while there are certainly
questions about Scalia's & Thomas' conduct regarding
this case While Sitting On The Bench.... see the difference -
Besides, the victorious candidate gets to stack the court
in his favor anyway; that's why it is so important to
WIN!!!!
Oh yeah - forgot... Kagan recused herself nearly 25%
last term, & Scalia has a history of recusing himself
when appropriate, so hard to imagine politics will influence
these people (just ask Reagan w/Souter!!!)
But, then again, some troll somewhere has to write Something
to contribute to the 24-hour news cycle... :?0 -

Do people even read anymore ? Or maybe I'm just imagining shit.
The writer clearly states that-[First the law: A federal statute requires that any “justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” Federal law also requires that a judge recuse herself if the judge previously served in governmental employment “and in that capacity participated as a ... counsel, adviser, or material witness concerning the proceeding or has expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy.”/quote]
Further more the article was written by a constitutional law professor who has been a liberal Democrat for the last 20 years. Hardly a troll0
