A conservative legal organization is calling for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to recuse herself from deciding the marriage case now before the court.
"A judge should avoid the appearance of impropriety as much as possible," says Roger Gannam, senior counsel with Liberty Counsel.
Ginsburg, a far-left justice, had conducted five same-sex marriage ceremonies before the high court heard the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges in April. A ruling is coming in June.
More recently, Ginsburg presided over the so-called marriage of two men in Washington, D.C., reportedly emphasizing the word "Constitution" in the ceremony to the delight of (a)ttendees.

She has shown she is biased towards pervert unions and should recuse herself.
You legal beagles out there, any precedent? Can she be recused by Chief Justice Roberts?
Ping.
Should we, as a people, be forced to accept this decision if she does not recuse herself?
> You legal beagles out there, any precedent? Can she be recused by Chief Justice Roberts?
She won’t be though because Roberts is a closet gay, himself and The One has blackmail material on him...
It depends on how much faith you have in our system. Frankly, I think our system has stretched beyond its initial mission, but that's just me.
She is as likely to recuse herself as she is to stay awake for a SOTU speech.
I doubt it. To recuse ones self would require honor. Something she doesn’t have.
I’m with you on both points.
Sure hope those church leaders have real action plans put together for active resistance (whatever they call it), if SCOTUS rule comes out.
She is not the only one. I predict it will not be a 5-4 decision anyway. This was lost when Lawrence vs Texas was handed down. Yes some members of the court have changed, but that has only made it worse since I think the Cheney/Bush team may have pushed it to the left in this area on purpose.
Anyway, even the state’s rights issue on the definition of marriage is to the left of where we used to be. Utah could not join the union until they abolished polygamy. The core definition was national and we should have worked for a federal amendment rather than state amendments. The reason is the full faith and credit clause. Every state must recognize the contracts of other states. While your state may not allow 16 year olds to marry, if they marry in a state where it is legal, every state must recognize the marriage.
We lost this a long time ago. I’m for taking the slow road to destruction by making it a states’ rights issue. But make no mistake, that is still the slow road to defeat and not a true success.
Liberty Counsel should be asking what the age of the youngest grade school student is who can read the Constitution and conclude that the Constitution doesn’t expressly protect gay marriage.
The Supreme Court has put it this way.
“3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition.” —United States v. Sprague, 1931.
Sometimes I think that so-called conservative legal counselors are actually helping to promote gay marriage.
That’s what “progressives” do.
But Megyn Kelly says Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg makes decisions strictly on the law.
Remember when she and O’Reilly got into a bit of a row about that a few years ago?
Knowing the lawless and corrupt administration and Congress (most anyway) I can see them initially passing a law to legalize marriage on a federal level though ut makes absolutely no sense but then again how mwny other things have they passed right under our noses. They are going to keep breaking the law to achieve the ends they want regardless of whether its legal or not until enough people get fed up and are so sick of it they take heavy handed measures to stop it. You can no longer p,ay nice with these people because they view it as weakness and take it as a signal to proceed further down their path to Hell....

Maybe Ginsburg will consult Nigerian law on the matter.
