Yes, they occasionally do and there have been several instances in the past three or four years. However, they cannot be forced to recuse themselves.
Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg illustrates why the SC should have limited terms.
More like the Ministry of Truth.
We seem to be living the movie Brazil ...
...
Since I have seen it a few times you are dead on and I award you post of the day.
Sad but we really are living the script.
Perhaps.
I remember those who wanted to silence David Duke, and I was a strong proponent of giving him the greatest platform, so that we would always know who he was and where he stood. And so that his ideas could be addressed in the open.
The worst thing that could happen is to have ignorance and bias like Ginsburg's hidden away, doing its damage out of sight.
We must transparently know what she is outwardly and without guesswork and we must contend with it.
We must force her allies to contend with their concurring ideas as well.
That means that the demon sitting on her shoulder gave her bad advice.
Clear grounds for impeachment, she openly stated her intent to ignore the Constitution she swore to uphold.
The senile old bag needs to step down.
Rush Limbaugh said of that Justice Scalia said to him that cases are NOT discussed, they do not debate the issues. Liberal judges are indeed prejudice. They go into a case with a pre-determined outcome.
I can never understand exactly why people bother apologizing for “misspeaking”. If that’s what they think, why can’t they defend it?
Great read. On the positive side, Buzzy clearly stated why the Hildebeast should not be POTUS.
So, why do we even have this phony process of the courts? We spend a lot of money and time indulging their little pretend game of "judging".
Why not just cut to the chase, and have the partisan judges just vote right away on any question? The "legal arguments" and "legal reasoning" is just a pile of horseMitt.
She should be impeached. I won’t hold my breath though.
You mean like Scalia?
She reminds me of Norman Bates’ mother in Psycho. She’s not asleep. She’s been dead for 10 years. The libs just prop her up once in a while. In that picture they forgot to use a neck brace.
There is no such thing. When you can guess results of the court before they announce, you know the court is dead. GOP votes the same mostly and DNC judges vote the same way. They all suck.
If The Witch wins in November, stacks the USSC with more leftists like Ginsburg, overturn Heller, let Ginsburg herself come and take my guns.
Boy is that a rogue’s gallery. Every last one of them is an anti-constitutional phony.
The statists on the USSC never recuse themselves for important cases. Kagan has recused herself several times for low level administrative cases, but not for the big ones, like the ACA cases when she should have.
This government is a bad joke for all to see (if one cares to open his/her eyes).
RBG confirmed openly what many of us have known all along - she is one of several partisan leftists on the Supreme Court and it is their political ideology that is the basis for their decisions.
She called Trump a “faker”. RBG is the faker - faking that she is qualified and deserving of the title and position of Justice, that she is a trustworthy protector of the Constitutional Rights, freedom and liberty. Gladly her place in history is now secure - none of her decisions will be popularly remembered - but public political statements showing that she decided cases based on her own political beliefs - a travesty of justice.
RBG brought great dishonor to the Court and if she had a half a grain of integrity, she would resign. The other seven justices should tell her to resign to protect the institution for all Americans.
If appointments are for life, then there should be an amendment to the constitution that allows for some majority of states to overrule politicized decisions made by a politicized court.
