Every Bar Association, Judiciary Committee, and any other group in the justice system should be calling for Kagan to recuse herself.

Why? Kagan has strong precedent for not recusing herself, from none other than Justice Rehnquist, no less. See Laird v. Tatum, 408 U.S. 1 (1972)

Thank you for the reference. It is as you say.

I wonder, was there any call for Rehnquist to recuse himself, at the time?

Are the Justices exempt from having to recuse themselves?
