Justice Gorsuch will sit out a pending environmental case, citing ethics code
Nbc ^

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch will not participate in an environmental case being argued next week after reviewing the court's new ethics code, according to a letter sent on Wednesday to lawyers involved.

The letter from Supreme Court Clerk Scott Harris did not explain why Gorsuch was recusing himself, saying only that "consistent with the code of conduct" he had decided not to participate.

The move came after liberal groups and more than a dozen members of Congress urged him to recuse over his prior links to billionaire Philip Anschutz.

It’s a new thing
The Supreme Court “ethics code “

How can that even be binding?

New ethics code? Roberts strikes again.

Does not knowing what a woman is preclude participation in certain cases?

That way the Court is more ‘balanced’, and more likely to find for the enviro-wackos.

He’s an imbecile. If Sotomayor was found to have ties to George Soros on a case involving one of his prosecutors or SOS’s, she would never sit it out.

Rats never recuse. Ever. The only they will reuse is when them recusing will guarantee an appeal therefore a rat SC Justice will never recuse.

Nothing is ever permanent. Historically the court has been a very fluid environment...justices were added or removed many many times. Congress simply has to have the guts to do so. Nothing stops them from reducing the number to five or increasing it to 15, other than their will to do so.

Kagan did recuse herself once on a case in which she had previously advised Obunga.

Kagan refused to recuse herself a few years back. Guess she has more spine than Gorsuch.

"New ethics code? Roberts strikes again."

Likely written specifically for this case just for Gorsuck.
