Under the unusual circumstances surrounding his selection, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should have agreed to recuse himself from deciding cases involving the investigation of President Trump. The reason Kavanaugh asserted at his confirmation hearing for refusing to make such a pledge that it would violate the imperative of judicial independence is entirely unconvincing.
In turn, senators should decline to approve Kavanaughs nomination unless he does so. And, since thats not likely to happen, in the event that a case involving the Trump investigation were to come before a Justice Kavanaugh, he should not participate for his own good and the good of the institution he is poised to join.
The unusual circumstances are these: The president selected a Supreme Court nominee while under criminal investigation. The nominee he chose happened to be one who has expressed clear and controversial views about the wisdom of investigating a sitting president.
In addition, that nominee suggested that the leading case on the presidents responsibility to comply with a subpoena, U.S. v. Nixon, maybe ... was wrongly decided heresy though it is to say so. Finally, although I wouldnt go so far down this conspiracy rabbit hole myself, the nominee did not appear on the original lists of potential Supreme Court choices; his name was only added to a list released after the special counsel investigation was launched....

I’m sure he’ll get right on that Ruth.
That’s the next phase. Kavanaugh needs to recuse himself from every case. Meanwhile Dem judges never recuse. Ever.
It’s already known Kavenaugh would restrict investigation of a president. Therefore, that’s understood when he’s confirmed and no need for him to avoid such decisions. The article tries to make the opposite argument because - liberals.
I’m sure Ruthie was jumping for joy when Dingy Harry got rid of the filibuster. ESAD Ruthie!
He can always site the Kagan Rule.
Trump is Batman. He said so.
As for judges...
Fine.
Then all judges appointed by Slick Willy or King Obongobongo should not decide any cases involving officials who served in their respective regimes.
If those guidelines fit, the it is very true of Ginsburg. Remember her Trump rant?
OK, Then Ruthie: Kagan and Sotomayor can’t decide anything that involves 0bama, And Ginsberg and Breyer can’t decide on anything involving the Clintons.
So silly.

They never lose; they just retreat to try again another time
The author presents this item without one iota of evidence to support it.
There are no “unusual circumstances” surrounding Kavanaugh’s selection.
“They never lose; they just retreat to try again another time”
Are you kidding? They NEVER retreat! When they lose they try to change the results. They never ever retreat.
Why? Trump hadnt been accused of committing any crime!
What is the basis the Democrats and the fake news media have for demanding Kavanaugh recuse himself from cases involving Trump?
Theyre pulling this fatuous nonsense out of thin air.
Trump Derangement Syndrome strikes again!
Stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The socialists are still stuck on denial. Those sore losers disgust me.

They need a fresh refined in this Fall’s election. They need to be beaten again, and again, and again. They’re slow learners.
