And it wasn't the first time. She's also accepted awards from groups that come before the court all the time (ACLU). I don't think it's enough to require her to recuse in cases where the executive branch is a party. Cases where Trump is a party, like the tax return subpoenas, are a closer call.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-16145388191120580532020-03-05T13:05:43.717-05:002020-03-05T13:05:43.717-05:00Ginsburg without provocation called trump, a frequ...Ginsburg without provocation called trump, a frequent litigant before her, a faker. And it wasnt just once she publicly criticized the president through the media (not in a decision or at an oral argument). This is not the role of a scotus justice. Trump asking her to recuse is entirely proportional to her repeated, unprovoked attacks. Trump lumping in Sotomayor with Ginsburg is unfair, ill give you that. If tomorrow alito gives a foxnews interview calling biden a faker, and biden gets elected, alito should recuse.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-78728136985526049712020-03-05T12:38:53.128-05:002020-03-05T12:38:53.128-05:0012:07 I just took that as him noting the similar l...12:07 I just took that as him noting the similar language used moreso than blaming Kavanaugh.<br />For those saying Roberts is partisan because he didn't rebuke Trump for saying Kagan and Sotomayor should recuse themselves from his cases (whatever that means), I think it is fair to distinguish that situation because Trump is just crazy enough to potentially order DOJ or some other agency to file a motion to recuse in some future appeal, and therefore Roberts probably believed it was inappropriate to comment publicly on an issue that might come before the Court (no matter how frivolous such a motion would be).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-91549047544162506962020-03-05T12:24:31.800-05:002020-03-05T12:24:31.800-05:00Democrats here to say the comments are totally una...Democrats here to say the comments are totally unacceptable.
