Taking a page from her hero Obama's work ethic, there's just so much work and the caseload is intense. So many conflicts and the solicitor general's job, too.

Cry me a river. She isn't qualified and we should be praying to protect America from her and her votes.

[WAW]

If only she could be recused all the way to retirement.

Recusing herself from anything to do with a legal analysis is the thing to do.

She’s got about as much talent in that field as she would in physics.

She’s a bimbo.

Period.

Considering she has forty years on the court, one year really won’t matter in the big scheme of things...../sarc.

When judges move from the Department of Justice to a court, the rules of judicial ethics require them to recuse (disqualify) themself in any case they worked on as a government lawyer. Rehnquist was recused from many cases during his first term on the Court, for the same reason. By next term, this won't be an issue.

There are many things to criticize Kagan for, but this isn't one of them; she is following the law.

Voting “present” and then leaving...

[Henchster]

Can anyone possibly believe that George Bush would have been able to get a nominee to the bench who would have to recuse themselves repeatedly because of “bias” for arguing for Bush’s viewpoint on numerous cases?

But I’m told there is no bias in the media

Well, someone figured out why Obama nominated Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court.... Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the docket and search for Obama. She was the Solicitor General for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural born citizenship. All of the requests were denied of course. They were never heard.

Here are some websites of the Supreme Court Docket: You can look up some of these hearings and guess what?? Elana Kagan is the attorney representing Obama!!! Check out these examples:

With regard to Kagan's recusing herself:

Lefty Senator Patrick Leahy is trying to “remedy” this “problem”, according to an editorial in the WSJ today.

Leahy is apparently going to propose legislation - as if Congress can “legislate” SCOTUS appointments - that would place a retired SCOTUS justice temporarily back on the bench to participate in a case where a sitting justice recused themselves.

Of course the conniving Leahy is explaining his proposal as the "benevolent" motive of seeking to avoid 4-4 tie votes.

Yea right!!!.
