Supreme Court: Should a justice who participated in ObamaCare's creation recuse herself from the court's review of that law? Of course. But then a nominee who lies in confirmation hearings shouldn't be on the court anyway.
If Justice Elena Kagan were a person of character, she would sit out the Supreme Court's hearing of the challenge to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
But during her confirmation hearings in June of last year, she indicated she would not. And since this Monday, when the court announced it would take the case, she has done nothing to suggest she will recuse herself after all. Nor has the court made any statement about her recusal, a convention it usually follows when a justice takes himself or herself off a case.
Here are the facts on Kagan: She was the administration's solicitor general when ObamaCare became law last year. She has acknowledged that she was at a meeting in which state litigation against ObamaCare was discussed, though she said she was not involved in any legal responses concerning the states' litigation.
We also know that Kagan enthusiastically supported ObamaCare. This is made clear in emails released last week by the Justice Department.
"I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing," Kagan wrote on the day ObamaCare passed the House in an email to Laurence Tribe, the Harvard law professor who was working at that time in the Obama Justice Department.

We said that having Obamacare pass meant war.
We said that a fake LFBC would mean war.
We said that Obama’s lies would mean war.
Obamacare will, by some twist of fate, be considered constitutional. And life will go on... for a short while, anyway.
Almost makes me glad I’m in the 4th quarter of my life. Still it hurts to see the country you loved and fought for being turned into a totalitarian communist state buy its own citizens.
According to Constitutional expert Mark Levin, the only person who can recuse Elaine Kagen is Elain Kagen. She will state as precedent the fact that nobody recused themselves from Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98.
If Kagan is not recused then there should never be a Supreme Court recusal again because the concept is meaningless.

“person of honor” is the catch.
Hello! She’s a democrat!!!

“I’m glad my parents didn’t live long enough to see this sorry state of affairs”
Me, too. This would kill them.
No one will be recused,would have been done when the scotus took the case.
“but I’m sorry that my children will have to live through the consequences of the Obama Regime.” That my friend is the greatest sadness. It falls to the children to save the country their parents generation destroyed.
Kagan was hired for one reason - Obamacare. It certainly wasn’t for her looks.
If gay marriage ever comes before the SC, then Kagan may have some additional use to liberals (as well as a, er, personal interest in the subject). Other than that she’s just a rubber stamp along with Sotomayor.
Fortunately, every step they took from the Olive Branch resolution, onward to the (First) Declaration, and on and on to the Treaty of Paris. That is exactly what we are dealing with here.
every step they took is documented, is what I meant... and they did so for a reason. They foresaw what we are undergoing now.
Instead of asking for her to recuse herself, we should be asking the House to initiate impeachment proceedings against her for perjury in her confirmation hearings.

She won’t.
Guess you should have filibustered her nomination in the Senate. :)
Now pay your taxes - the judges need raises.
