it’s been a while since my polisci class. What would happen if a supreme court justice did recuse himself?
Read the article in full. Its happened before. They don’t hear the case or vote.
They recuse themselves all the time. Sotomayor recused herself from the FCC “dirty words” case they decided today because she had participated in it at the appeals level.
Worst-case scenario is a tie vote and a deadlock.
