There’s no way in hell she’ll recuse herself.
She wont recuse herself and there is nothing you can do about it,SO THERE! Blah Blah Blah,Im rubber your glue whatever you say to me will bounce off and stick to you.
Sticks and stones will break your bones nad names will never hurt you.
If she wont recuse herself, then she needs impeached and removed from the bench.
Here’s the problem: Only Republicans are calling for her recusal.
The Republicans in Congress DO NOT YET RECOGNIZE that the Democrats are not playing the same game by the same rules that they are.
The Democrats don’t want Kagan to recuse herself, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IT WOULD BE WRONG.
It would be wrong because the Democrats believe the purpose of Presidential appointment and Senate confirmation of Federal judges is to overthrow the system. THey got Kagan on for exactly this reason.
For Democrats, would make no more sense for her to recuse herself than it would make sense for her to dress in purple underwear and deliver her opinions in Norwegian.
I called my congressman’s office yesterday and demanded him to start the wheels rolling on impeachment if she doesn’t do the right thing. Personally I think she should be impeached anyway based solely on the fact that she is so freeking ugly.....as are the other two! Don’t they make good looking rat judges?
This is all just pissing into the wind. We won’t even get the satisfaction of news coverage.

It doesn’t matter if all 535 members of Congress “call for [a] Kagan recusal”.
Being a doctrinaire leftist with her “eyes on the prize”, she is NOT going to recuse herself from this case. And there will be no way to force her to do so, because recusal, by its own standard, is a “removal of one’s self” — that is to say, it must be she who makes the decision to step back herself. And of course, we know what her decision will be.
Having written that, perhaps her “refusal of recusal” may become so glaring a violation of ethics in pursuit of a political goal that it might sway _other justices_ on the Court towards our side. I’m thinking in particular of Anthony Kennedy, who too often “swings with the prevailing winds” of “moderation”.
If Justice Kennedy is put-off by her behavior enough, perhaps (just perhaps) that may provide the impetus for him to “swing towards our side” on this one....
Can Roberts force her to recuse herself?
