Don’t forget one more point:
If all nine justices vote, that means that Elena Kagan must be impeached for not recusing herself as the law requires.
And if that fails to happen, we’ll have somewhere close to a hundred senators to reject over the next three Novembers, and a couple hundred congressmen too.
Failing to impeach Elena Kagan for failure to recuse herself from this case is, in my opinion, an impeachable offense for any legislator. The case is simply too clear; there’s no question about it.
—If all nine justices vote, that means that Elena Kagan must be impeached for not recusing herself as the law requires.—
You are right. It should be 8-0
I agree with you but why has CJ Roberts said she need not?
If she recuses, it could mean a tie...and I think a tie means the opponent (Obama) wins. I think that’s what I remember.
Please educate me as to where in the Constitution it provides for the impeachment of Justices of the Supreme Court. I can’t seem to find it. Thanks!
Not only was she involved as SG prior to the Supremes, but she was involved AS ACTING SG, basically, voicing government arguments to questions, filling in for Verilli when Verilli could not.
Was Kagan the one talking about all the bundles of money that is going to be thrown to the states and the half a load crap. Kind of totally goofy question and statement, not scholarly at all!!!
If five vote to toss it, Kagan will switch sides and vote with them.
Then they will unleash attacks on us for having the temerity to question her integrity. This will immunize her against this charge on all future cases.
