She looks like ‘Goo’ from Gumby and Pokey.

“What was there about the term hint/appearance of conflict of interest that I failed to communicate properly?”

1. Kagan had direct involvement.
2. CT had NO direct involvement.

Failing to see there not being any possible way these two cases as similar might have something to do with it.

Okay let's try another route. Justice Thomas's wife worked zealously in AHF's efforts to stop passage of Obamacare.Justice Kagan cheered the passage of Obamacare and may have participated in planning to defend it against legal challenge. She did not take part in the writing or passage of this monstrosity.

When that Wisconsin judge stopped implementation of the governor's labor reforms many pointed to her husband's or son's, I don't recall which, ties to the Wisconsin labor movement, and were angered that she didn't recuse herself. Those demands were absolutely correct, even though the judge had no direct interest in the case before her..

if there is evidence that Justice Kagan was not honest before the Senate about her involvement in preparing Obamacare's legal defense, then I believe she should be impeached, but absent compelling evidence I see recusal of neither or both as the proper course. Certainly this makes me a commie pinko who should be zotted and banned immediately.

Gee I wonder how she will vote?

“Certainly this makes me a commie pinko who should be zotted and banned immediately.”

Don’t know if you are a commie or a pinko, but you are certainly out of your mind if you think that way. I appreciate the heads up...I’ll stand off.

Oh....from the article;

• Kagan took early and aggressive action to involve her office in Obamacare...

• Kagan made key staffing decisions starting in January of 2010...

• Kagan was part of the deliberative process in the Obamacare defense strategy...

More Kagan Emails (Judicial Watch) DOJ with held from senate confirmation hearings.

--An October 13, 2009, exchange between Kagan and former Deputy Solicitor General Neal Katyal. Katyal informs Kagan, “We just got Snowe on health care,” referring to Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME). (The bulk of the email exchange reflects a discussion about Kagan, and also provides instructions regarding a hiring decision within the agency, although the nature of the position is unclear. When Katyal asks if Kagan wants to handle the hire via email or in person meeting, Kagan responds, “In person. I’ll call a meeting when I return.”

--A March 16, 2010, email from Kagan to David Barron, then-acting head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, asked if he had seen an article by Michael McConnell published in the Wall Street Journal that discussed a strategy by Democrats to “‘deem’ ObamaCare into Law without voting.” “Did you seee [sic] Michael McConnell’s piece in the wsj?” Kagan writes in an email with the subject line “Health care q.” “YES, HE IS GETTING THIS GOING,” replied Barron.
