I think they believed they could effectively deal with it without the media sideshow that would have resulted from her recusal.

An alternate hypothesis is that they are corrupt to the core.

They ex parte met with, and bowed before,
an undocumented, if not foreign, litigant

Ruth Buzzi Bader-Meinhof (look it up) Ginsburg is the only one that can recuse herself.

It's my opinion that the conservative justices know they have Kennedy's vote....and choose not to challenge Ginsburg on ethical grounds at this time. Why argue with success?

Approaching 80, Bader-Meinhof is the oldest Justice on the Court. She's undergone surgery for pancreatic surgery and probably will resign after the November election, so why give her the personal pleasure of recusal publicity if they don't have to. She's best ignored as the inept nebbish she is.

(Gee, I hope I'm correct on my assessment that the votes are in the bag, shudder, shudder. But I'd lay book that they are).
