BTTT
So what happens if she doesn’t recuse herself? Can the Republican House impeach her?
Case closed in a nation of laws.
We are not in a nation of laws, albeit it is an emerging police state.
Didn’t she flat out lie about it during the Senate confirmation hearings?
What happens if it is 4-4 on the individual mandate? We have had different rullings from the appellate courts.

It would seem like the case is closed, but I’ll be shocked if she does recuse.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
More info here, too:
“Obamacare Litigation: More “Golden” Reasons Why Justice Kagan May Need to Recuse Herself”
She won’t recuse and no power that we have can make her. Even so, the vote would then just become 4 to 4 just for spite.
I don’t see how any ethical lawyer adhering to professional codes of conduct could not consider that they need to recuse themselves from this case,” he said.
...........................................................
We are talking about ethical lawyers are we not?
I believe that probably lets her out.
It is apparent that anyone on the inside circle of the Obozo or of power and wealth doesn’t need to be concerned about our laws. At the expense of the common citizen, those people are above the LAW. Even John Roberts needs to be b**ch slapped over his stand on this Kagan recusal issue. The Obozo is an illegal president and every justice on that court knows it so they accept two illegal supreme court justices as well. The US is worse than a banana republic. We had the means and the wherewithal to stop the erosion of enforcement of our laws for those of power and wealth but so far we have stood and done nothing.
Unless she would be hearing an appeal of an particular case in which she participated, I don't think the quoted section would apply (but if such a case does come before her, refusal would obviously be required). If the section were read so broadly as to suggest that her participation on one case involving Obamacare would disqualify her from hearing others, such a reading would also require that when a case comes before the court regarding a matters which the court has previously decided, any judges who were on the court when the previous case was decided would be required to recuse themselves--clearly absurd.
Here is the bigger question. Has she told her fellow jurists the same lie. If so will they see this a as breach of ethics and sanction her?
Did she state before her confirmation hearing that she had nothing to do with the health care law???

SWEET PING
JACK CADE.
Valiant I am.
SMITH [aside].
‘A must needs; for beggary is valiant.
JACK CADE.
I am able to endure much.
DICK [aside].
No question of that; for I have seen him whipp’d three market-days together.
JACK CADE.
I fear neither sword nor fire.
SMITH [aside].
He need not fear the sword; for his coat is of proof.
DICK [aside].
But methinks he should stand in fear of fire, being burnt i’ th’hand for stealing of sheep.
You can almost hear the rim-shot after everything Dick or Smith say here.
Cade proceeds to go more and more over the top, and begins to describe his absurd ideal world:
JACK CADE.
Be brave, then; for your captain is brave, and vows reformation. There shall be in England seven half-penny loaves sold for a penny: the three-hoop’d pot shall have ten hoops; and I will make it felony to drink small beer: all the realm shall be in common; and in Cheapside shall my palfrey go to grass: and when I am king,- as king I will be,-
ALL.
God save your majesty!
Appreciated and encouraged, he continues on in this vein:
JACK CADE.
I thank you, good people:- there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers, and worship me their lord.
And here is where Dick speaks the famous line.
DICK.
The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
