Paper (written by judicial expert) argues for Kagan's recusal in health care challenge
Kagan Ping!
Kagan graduated from the Eric H0lder Sch00l of Law?
And it happens all the time.
What SHOULD be done, is Impeachment proceedings should be started, as she LIED UNDER OATH AT THE CONFIRMATION HEARINGS, claiming she had no personal involvement in the Obamacare that was shoved up our a$$es!
This series of e-mails raises the question of whether Kagan is fit to render ANY decisions from the Supreme Court bench.
Second order of business after Obamacare is repealed in January 2013: Respectfully ask Elena Kagan to step down from the Supreme Court. If she refuses, commence immediately with impeachment proceedings.
There should be no difficulty whatsoever in finding grounds.
Impeachment is the only way to get rid of her. It’s a shame we don’t have enough honest members of the Senate and House to do it.
Yep, that’s what we’ll get from all the enemedia.
Agreed, they’ll be grounds but not enough votes to do it.
We suspected as much!
Holder lied [again] just the other day to US Senator Lee, IIRC.
It’s simply preposterous that she was confirmed to the Supreme Court and in fact any Court in the first place.
It’s been obvious all along that she has an activist perspective in her liberal beliefs and has no desire to separate her activism from any work she performs in the field of law.
That’s how lawyers work if they represent causes they care about in their career and that’s a fundamental part of the practice of law in America, which is wonderful.
A Judge, however, needs to have a different kind of personality and attitude - obviously - because a Judge needs to instinctfully (and there are people who think like this and love doing it) go for the legally appropriate decision even if it works to the detriment of their own personal causes that they hold near and dear. It’s a judicial way of thinking, the way every trade or profession has a way of thinking. The judge should pride themselves on being able to sacrifice the way they would prefer the case to work out, undermining their personal goals. Sometimes cases go their way, sometimes they don’t and a good judge is quite willing to accept that, knowing that they are helping to provide society with impartial justice, which should be their ultimate ambition while they are a judge.
It would seem much more prudent to select SCOTUS Justices from the ranks of Judges with years of history to evaluate them on rather than from the ranks of liberal academia.
IMHO.
Samuel Chase, the only Supreme Court justice EVER to be impeached, was impeached for partisan leanings, but acquitted (not removed).
Bump
bttt (for later)
She Must RECUSE
The Judiciary is SUPPOSED to be impartial. While, in actuality, this can NEVER be fully attained - this prohibition AT LEAST removes SOME of the appearance of partiality ...
There are plenty of qualified people out there with bona fides and that HAVE NOT served in a particular President's term ...
