OK, it looks like since they didn’t respond to the MOTION TO RECUSE but instead relabeled it as just a “request”, SCOTUS conceded that Kagan and Sotomayor would recuse themselves but then they didn’t recuse themselves.
IOW, SCOTUS tried to change the actual legal document/motion so they didn’t have to give an answer. Because they didn’t answer on time they conceded to the motion but then didn’t actually do what they had conceded that they would do (recuse Kagan and Sotomayor).
This is the biggest pile of steaming horseshit I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot.
We have a lawless Supreme Court. Period. Even THEY don’t follow their own word OR the rules of the judiciary.
Article III says that “The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold thier Offices during good Behaviour...”
Breaking their word and ignoring the rules of the court is not “good behavior”. These so-called “justices” need to go.
Yeah - depending on the matter before it.
I point to the Heller decision, where SCOTUS couldn't even read it's own two page Miller precedent correctly.
It gets respect for the same reason the mafia does, they have the ability and will to use force of violence to get their way. But there is ZIP, NADA, ZERO for moral or logical authority there.
