It seems it should but being the DOJ won’t release pertinent info it doesn’t look like it will.

A justice has to recuse themselves and it’s an honor system as I understand it but a person without honor won’t do it.

There’s a catch to this - if she does recuse herself, that could mean a split vote. I believe (I have read) that if the vote is split, the lower-court ruling stands...considering there are different rulings at the federal level, it could be tricky.

I’ve been keeping an eye out for this, and assumed that she Would recuse herself...wondering now if this is all the usual kabuki intended to make her look ‘humbled’ if she backs out of the final case?
