“Like this one?

Another email chain on March 21, 2010, entitled “Health care litigation meeting,” references an “internal government meeting regarding the expected litigation.” Kagan is both author and recipient in the chain. “

Sorry. I blew right past that somehow and totally missed it.
Have you met my companion, astigmatism? :)

There is only the hive mentality...all other views are invalid, infidel, and must be crushed.

Ethics do not matter.

Debate does not matter.

Honesty does nto matter.

Democracy does not matter.

All that matters is the hive-view.

Can the other judges on the Supreme Court force her to recuse herself?

Nope.

Can a Republican majority Congress impeach her?

Takes a 2/3rds vote in the Senate to impeach. It's very rare feat to pull off. The GOP isn't getting 2/3rds.

Force? No. Persuade? Maybe.

>> Can a Republican majority Congress impeach her? <<

Any majority in the HOUSE can impeach. Doesn’t have to be a “Republican” majority. They can impeach ANY executive or judicial branch government official, any time, for any reason.

But a conviction and removal from office takes 2/3 of the SENATE, not just a simple majority. And there’s simply no way that’s gonna happen.

The woman is not qualified and obviously a hack for the left.

She wouldn't be there without the help of some of our Good Republican Senators. Orin Hatch gave us a couple goodies, saying he felt the President has a right to pick the people he wants. He conveniently forgot all the Filibusters agains Republican appointments. Strange huh?

Democrat Judges never recuse themselves. They are corrupt.

There’s a catch to this - if she does recuse herself, that could mean a split vote. I believe (I have read) that if the vote is split, the lower-court ruling stands...considering there are different rulings at the federal level, it could be tricky.

I’ve been keeping an eye out for this, and assumed that she Would recuse herself...wondering now if this is all the usual kabuki intended to make her look ‘humbled’ if she backs out of the final case?

That’s correct, if the SCOTUS vote is tied the appellate court ruling stands.

I doubt very much she’ll recuse herself and also doubt this is a feint. There’s probably a better than 50% chance the appellate ruling will favor tubing obamacare.

"...Does this disqualify her from taking part in the SCOTUS decision on ObamaCare once it hits them?..."

Don't think there's a 'disqualifying' action available. The USSC Judges have to recuse themselves .................................. FRegards

Justices are impeachable is all I know. The process surely is similar to the other two branches of government’t but haven’t a clue on the exact process.

Yes, but if the pubbies couldn't even get 41 votes to block cloture on her there is no way in Hell that they will get 67 votes to remove her.

Yes they can but not until they have a majority in the Senate

House impeaches. Senate convicts. The House should impeach her even if they know she wont be convicted. But the first step is to hold House impeachment hearings. they should at least do that.

It would be funny if Obamacare lost a vote in the SCOTUS because Obama appointed a judge who has to recuse herself.
