I wonder if they're trying to off-set what will happen if Kagan has to recuse herself for Obamacare?

Quoted: I wonder if they're trying to off-set what will happen if Kagan has to recuse herself for Obamacare? Probably. I'm not sure if the Dems want to play this game, because even if Thomas doesn't hear the case it's quite possible the court will split 4-4 and the ruling (which overturns Obamacare) will stand. |

Quoted:
I wonder if they're trying to off-set what will happen if Kagan has to recuse herself for Obamacare? “I think that Kagan, who was the solicitor general at the time this was all done, probably should recuse herself,” Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Fox News in February. Conservative groups have similarly been raising concerns that Kagan might have been involved in crafting the administration’s legal defense for a law she’s now expected to rule on — something she emphatically denied during her Senate confirmation. In particular, they point to an email exchange between Kagan and her subordinate Neal Katyal that suggests she might have gotten involved without leaving a paper trail. |

When/if a precedent is set in today's climate of attacking judges who are poised to rule on legislation you support/oppose, we are screwed. I am NOT an expert, but i "think" that it is up to the judge to recuse or not.
This smacks of threatening relatives and intimidation. |

And this is how they hope to win the 0care battle.
Disqualifying/removing anyone opposed to their ideology. Didn't 0 win in Chicago when his opponent was dq'ed? Didn't 0 beat Hillary for the DNC nom when a number of her votes didn't count (or were lost)? Lemme looks those up because I'm curious about those rumors... |

They cannot do a thing about it. Not a thing. The USSCt is a separate and co-equal branch of government. The executive and/or legislative branches can't compel a recusal or punish non-recusal any more than the Court could reverse the elevation of the Speaker of the House or force the President to veto or sign a bill.

Quoted:
Didn't 0 win in Chicago when his opponent was dq'ed? In his first race for office, seeking a state Senate seat on Chicago's gritty South Side in 1996, Obama effectively used election rules to eliminate his Democratic competition.
As a community organizer, he had helped register thousands of voters. But when it came time to run for office, he employed Chicago rules to invalidate the voting petition signatures of three of his challengers. The move denied each of them, including incumbent Alice Palmer, a longtime Chicago activist, a place on the ballot. It cleared the way for Obama to run unopposed on the Democratic ticket in a heavily Democrat district.... ...Obama's challenge was perfectly legal, said Jay Stewart of the Chicago's Better Government Association. Although records of the challenges are no longer on file for review with the election board, Stewart said Obama is not the only politician to resort to petition challenges to eliminate the competition. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/29/obamas.first.campaign/?iref=mpstoryview |

Instead it paints Thomas's legal scholarship and position on the SCOTUS as an existential threat to the Progressives' agenda for America and the welfare state. It cites how Thomas's arguments have basically refuted the idea the 2nd amendment applied to the states and not individuals, and that's not the worst of it (from the liberals' view). He could actually stop nationalization of heath care, something liberals need in order to take over the US. |
