The Hegelian dialectic. Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis. You have been snookered. Kagan should recuse herself, Thomas should not. You cannot call for recusal because of the views of the spouse. No quarter should be given. Kagans conflict is her own doing.

Thomas's is just bait thrown out to take one of "ours" out. The left knows Kagan has a clear conflict, the solution is to take one of ours out too.

This is like a hockey game where Kagan is penalized for punching another player. Justice Thomas, who wife was for the other team calls out from the stands "Clarence" high stick her back. He declines, but he wanted to, so both sit in the penalty box.

I agree with you.

It is definitely another trick by the liberal left.

But I also know that Kagen is not going to recuse herself.
I would bet the farm on it.

At least if Thomas stays it should neuter her vote.
