Is this that old fashioned and out of date concept called "decorum" that you are talking about?
Anybody thought about what would happen in a Bush v. Gore repeat?
I’m sure the left would assert this “apology” undoes the damage she did and allows her to hear the case (despite all the squawking they did over Thomas’ wife’s business dealings).
What would the righties on the USSC do when she refused to recuse herself? Could the public have any confidence in a decision relying on a decisive vote from her?
Constitutional crisis anyone?
