Under federal law—28 U.S.C. 455—any “justice, judge or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might be reasonably questioned.”The law further states that any justice
“shall also disqualify himself … [w]here he has served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser or material witness concerning the proceedings or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy.”And our congressional leaders should be beating that drum.
You’ve got some good nuggets this morning... awesome. So now Kagan should be impeached for overtly violating this law? (Not holding my breath).
That’s a whole other argument. The fact that the other justices never spoke up is a travesty.
The law addresses “himself.” Being a democrat, I’m sure she does not believe that any law she disagrees with applies to “her.”
They have been beating the drum that they would defund Obamacare to stop it cold, but they have renegged and flinched because they're more afraid of what could happen if the President shut the government down and blamed them for it like Clinton did.
They're more afraid of that than they are of the electorate!!!

Right ... who's going to go after her for a violation of federal law? AG Holder? Snowball's chance.
