Wow ! An honest liberal.

It didn't come up on a conflict check. ROLFLAMO.
Yup, they want something.
Obama judge recuses on a case the left is expected to lose in order to cajole Trump judges to recuse on some highly contested future cases?
She just did. Do you lack reading comprehension??
This is like a democrat voting for a republican bill that’s popular with their constituents because it’s clear that the rest of the democrats are going to easily defeat the bill regardless. She’s as full of shit as any other leftist.
Ginsberg should recuse herself from every case in front of the court. Her bias and vitriol directed at President Trump should disqualify her from every case.
So someone wants to have the Supreme Court rule that an item in the Constitution is unconstitutional and thus make a change to the Constitution without the constitutional requirement it be voted and approved by 75% of all States?
Yea sure that sounds right...if we were a Communist Dictatorship.
When will RBG suspend all her appearances and rulings until Feb 2021 due to Wuhan virus fears?
What I don't care for is her shooting off her mouth about Trump.
It's unprofessional of her, and it really doesn't represent the court well.
Sotomayor was going to be exposed if she did not recuse herself.
Everyone knew her connection to this woman and, initially, Sotomayor was going to hope the media would stay silent....but then Trump took her on over recusals.
With regard to the cases themselves, if a state can give all its electors to the winner of the popular vote, why not give all electors to a vote taken in Poland?
It is denial of your state’s voice. States can do winner takes all or apportionment based on the state vote, but disregarding the will of the people is not an option.
WHY IS EVERYONE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS CASE
IT WILL DECIDE IF WE THE PEOPLE VOTE FOR PRESIDENT OR ABOUT 535 PEOPLE CALLED ELECTORS DO
am I missing something here if electors can do as they choose after becoming a electoral college elector then why in the hell would 330 million people vote ?
If supreme court says they can do as they choose ( faithless electors) then our votes are null n void /// cw2 starts?
LOL, Yeah… Interested party indeed...that explains why she couldn’t avoid it!
There has been some clarification since yesterday. It was Baca’s sister & BIL that stayed in Sotomayor’s house.
Polly Baca, a former Colorado state senator, has a friendship with Justice Sotomayor that dates back decades – with Sotomayor even reserving Baca a front-row seat for her 2009 confirmation hearing.
“Baca, a former state senator, has been Sotomayor’s friend for decades. Baca’s sister and brother-in-law lived for a time in Sotomayor’s New York apartment, and Baca herself had a prominent spot at the justice’s Senate confirmation hearing.”
You're right about the effect of her recusal on these cases, but the cases do not "challenge the electoral college." The only issue is whether states can punish faithless electors.
A “caught” librat. Honesty and integrity are not in their reality.
This case isn’t meaningless. It has serious implications for that stupid National Popular Vote movement.
You are not understanding the implications. If the electors can be required to vote the way the states says they have to then the National Popular Vote movement will get legs because now electores can be required to vote NPV regardless of what the state vote actually is.
The system has worked well for 200+ years. It should be left alone.
