Dozens of congressional Republicans are demanding that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recuse herself from ruling on President Trump’s travel ban case before the Supreme Court hears arguments in October, saying she’s already shown she can’t be an impartial jurist when it comes to Mr. Trump.
Justice Ginsburg had to apologize during last year’s campaign for saying she worried for the country should Mr. Trump be elected, and accusing him of being “a faker.”
More than 50 House Republicans this week fired off a letter saying that creates a situation where her “impartiality might reasonably be questioned” — the standard laid out in law for a justice to drop out of a case.
“You are bound by law to recuse yourself from participation in this case,” said the Republicans, led by Rep. Ron DeSantis, Florida Republican.
None of the parties in the cases have officially asked her to step aside, and she took part in the decision issued this week, in which the court said it will take up broader arguments in October, but allowed a limited version of the travel ban to take effect in the meantime.

Fat chance that will happen. This is lame posturing. If she doesn’t, bet they won’t start impeachment. Thus, political posturing.
Would that just make it 4 to 4. Then it would stand?
Help me out here.
Very possibly would make it 5 to 3. :)
She laughs in their face, commies are good at that.
She handed in her resignation back in November. Why is she still hanging around?
Didn’t she say that she would move to New Zealand if DONALD TRUMP was elected? (Please do so)
Oh shut up guys.
1. She will fall asleep during argument
2. The ban is essentially approved. SCOTUS upheld it and agreed to hear arguments in September.
3. It will essentially be a moot argument 3 months into something that was already upheld.
4. Kennedy may very well leave the bench by then and the balance shifts in kur favor.
Here is an interesting article about it. Supposedly, resigning if Trump won the election:
Quite possibly she will fall asleep during arguments. But she’ll be awake for voting. And her mind, such as it is, has been made up AGAINST Trump since last fall. THERE’s the rub. That’s why she needs to forced to recuse.
This is the money quote....these reps bloviating are nothing but buffoons.
rather than write letters, why don`t they just impeach/convict her. Her obvious inability to be impartial, her treasonous remarks regarding our constitution, and her sleeping on the job are certainly grounds enough. it is past time to retire that senile old woman!
It’s time to have a sweet going-away party. We’ll all send our best wishes.
And look at this! House republicans supporting Trump!
Monday was so good it felt like everything turned. Russia witch hunt is dead. Obama is now on the hook for his usual lazy attitude to defending America
And now actual republicans supporting Trump. Whoa
Hat tip to some fellow freeper - she shouldn’t buy green banannas
