According to Section 455(b)(3) of Title 28 of the U.S. Code, justices must disqualify themselves in cases where they have “served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser, or material witness concerning the proceeding or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case or controversy.”
As solicitor general of the United States, Justice Elena Kagan served as the head of an office responsible for formulating the Obama administration’s legal defense of its domestic agenda priority — Obamacare.
she violated the law in 1996 too. Against the Supreme Court during the partial birth abortion ban case.
She’s nuts.
He could read the law to her until the cows come home but he as no authority to compel to comply.
Wow, I hadn’t heard that. He probably won’t, but just knowing the option is there is good. She’s so clearly in the wrong, but I thought there was no higher authority.
He won’t, they are expected to know enough to recuse themselves.
Yup....
Worth a repeat. How true.
Agree!!!
Everyone should contact their Congressman about Justice Elana Kagan violating the law by not recusing herself from the Supreme Court hearings on ObamaCare
Kagan’s involvement in ObamaCare 2 years ago disqualifies her from hearing this case!!
