"In a 3-2 ruling, the state’s highest court said the Michigan Court of Appeals correctly ruled that Stein was ineligible to pursue a recount."

Two SCMI Justices are wimps and should no longer be considered for appointment to SCOTUS.

I wouldn't say that. The decision didn't need their input overall, and they'll look a lot better as future candidates for the USSC if they didn't show what the left would consider partisanship in this important case. (it shouldn't be an important case, but it is).

"Two SCMI Justices are wimps and should no longer be considered for appointment to SCOTUS. "

Wimps?  Beg your pardon, these justices recused themselves from this decision as they were on a short list named by Trump of justices to replace Justice Scalia even before the election.

These two justices also just won a state-wide election making the court a 5-2 conservative majority, even after taking themselves out of the decision - and they still knew the court would have 3-2 republican advantage.

Voting in this decision would be a direct conflict of interest as any judge with integrity would do that was on a short list as a SCOTUS nominee, unlike Sotomayer and Kagan should have done in previous cases.

They did exactly the right thing. They knew it would be a 3-2 reault but if they made it 5-2 their alleged conflict would be the story and Stein’s hope for federal intervention. Sometimes stepping away is exactly the right thing to do.

Read the recusal statement of CJ Young. He blistered the federal district court.

The two wimps were Dems, the other 3 who denied recount were Republicans. The other two, who were on SCOTUS LIST, removed themselves from hearing the case.
