I bet she doesn’t recuse herself.
Laws don’t mean anything to people like Kagan. She has no business on the Court to begin with.She reads the law the way she wish’s to.
Wow. That email stream is the poster child of the “smoking gun”. I can smell the smoke from here. If she doesn’t recuse, there is gonna be hell to pay.
Ultimately only Kagan will determine if she should recuse. There is no sanction if she does not short of impeachment. Impeachment by the House has to be followed by conviction and removal by the Senate to have any practical effect on a USSC Justice. Ain’t gonna happen.
SCOTUS justices set their own rules about recusal. However, when one should recuse and refuses to do so, it negatively influences the other justices who seek to maintain the decorum of the court.
Even today, with such a sharply divided court, “one heartbeat away” from becoming a rubber-stamp liberal court, justices are still very sensitive about their credibility, because they know they are the weakest of the three branches, and an irate congress or president could seriously foul them up.
Required by law? Since when does that matter to this bunch?
What section of the Constitution delegates such power to Congress?
” - - - Kagan was then President Obama’s solicitor general.”
The NINE SUPREMES are now proven to be a packed Court. Robo-vote in a bill, get it signed, and pack the Court. Dictator Obama wins again.
With all this evidence, the question to the US Congress is : “ When are you sorry “public servants” going to IMPEACH Obama? “

Take a quick look at the career of Uncle Lazar.
Her family are old time NYC Stalinists, her brother, head of the CPUSA. The Rosenbergs, Alger Hiss; colleagues. The family FBI files would stack up a great deal higher than the woman's head.
Can no one in Congress read? This appointment was just as bizarre as that of Van Jones.
