If she votes with the majority on a law that is going down anyhow, it will allow the Left to unleash a big gun attack against all of us for being “paranoid and delusional” when we called on her to recuse.
Not really. She is violating the law by not recusing, we all know it. Regardless of how she votes. Her prior actions tell us HOW she’d vote, because you can’t but know her bias, but the fact she’s clearly and unambiguously violating the law by not recusing herself given her known work history on this issue, is the thing people are objecting to. The fact her bias is known is only bad for one side, but the violation of the law not recusing herself due to her former SG position defending this law, THAT cannot be taken out by a “paranoid and delusional” attack from the left.
They always try and end justifies the means argument. In this case you say the left will say it doesn’t matter, she voted against it. I say it matters because we’re objecting not to the outcome of the vote, but that she voted at all and violated the law by not recusing herself.
In short it’s a bigger issue than how she votes. The big beef is that she’s voting at all. No respect for law on her part. She is a lawbreaker. On our top court.
