The Supremes should accept this case and then insist that Sotomayor recuse herself. If that happens and there is a 4-4 tie then then the lower court ruling stands.

How sweet that would be - Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalia sustain the ruling and we don’t have to worry about Kennedy.

Are you listening Justice Roberts?

Do you REALLY think Sota-my-YOUR is going to recuse herself? HA! That'd be the day!

But only within their circuit, although other judges are then allowed to cite their decision in making their own.
