Email Released Shows Elana Kagan Celebrating Obamacare's Passage

[USArmyRetired]

The email is going viral tonight since it's release earlier today and it shows that Elana Kagan showed bias towards it's passage. As we all know, Obama's Health Care Law goes before the Supreme Court to see if it is constitutional and for a Judge currently sitting on the bench that has been revealed to be celebrating it's passage calls for her to recuse herself from the upcoming ruling. It is imperative that she do so. This law will have drastic consequences for all Americans and businesses if passed. Again, Kagan must recuse herself. It is required.

Scalia has already set the precedent that Supreme Court Justices can ignore requirements for recusal.

First answer me this:

Q: Why the FUCK is the memory of the right wing so fucking SHORT?

Scalia won't recuse himself from Cheney case - CNN

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

OK - and now your answer

Let me google that for you

If you were a party in a trial and the other side was hunting ducks with the fucking JUDGE DECIDING THE CASE - wouldn't that look bad to you?

Scalia won't recuse himself from Cheney case - CNN

From the article:

[Scalia concluded friendship alone did not meet that standard.

"Why would that result follow from my being in a sizable group of persons, in a hunting camp with the vice president, where I never hunted with him in the same blind or had other opportunity for private conversation?"

Scalia said that he did not remember being alone with Cheney and that they never discussed the case.]

There is nothing on record showing that Scalia discussing the case or anything pertaining to it. He was in the clear. Here we have conclusive proof in a email where Kagan discussed Obamacare and showing her joy that it passed. She must recuse herself.

Great. So all Kagan has to do is write a letter where she concludes her impartiality will not be affected. NEXT PLEASE

 

[Inthemiddle]

I don't think Scalia needed to recuse himself then, and I don't think Kagan needs to recuse herself now.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

I don't think Scalia needed to recuse himself then, and I don't think Kagan needs to recuse herself now.

Certainly if Kagan concludes she doesn't need to, she doesn't - by the Scalia standard, judges get to decide for themselves if they are impartial or not.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Kagan needs to recuse herself.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Kagan needs to recuse herself.

You need to stop kidding yourself.

"Needs to"? Really? And what happens if she doesn't? You gonna make her?

Really? Did Scalia express any opinions on Cheney?

Administration emails recently obtained by the conservative CNSNews.com through a Freedom of Information Act request show Kagan telling a former colleague "I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing," regarding the reform bill. The emails have rekindled calls for Kagan to recuse herself from ruling on the healthcare reform law next year because of a provision of the U.S. code that calls on justices to disqualify themselves when they have "expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy" while in government service.

Its says "expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy" - the case DID NOT EXIST at the time of Kagan's comments. So clearly - no recusal is needed under that clause. NEXT PLEASE.

 

[Inthemiddle]

It's not Scalia's standard. That's the rule for the Supreme Court, long before Scalia was ever a member. And he's far from the first justice to make the decision.

In any event, I think that there's alot of potentially interesting possibilities in this. It's recently become aware to me that this isn't a simple matter of who will say "yes" or "no." It could turn out that the "minority" might end up walking away with this. For example, I suspect that at the very least Scalia will rule that there is insufficient standing. Meanwhile, the rest of the judges may each feel there is sufficient standing for the causes of action, and produce opinions regarding the constitutionality of the law. In other words, we could have 4 votes affirming constitutionality, with 5 dissensions, with 2 of those dissensions not ever addressing the constitutional question.

The only reason she's on SCOTUS in the first place is payback for covering for Obama at Harvard.

Kagan = Recuse

The law requires recusal in any case where "impartiality might reasonably be questioned"

Also - Kagen did not express an opinion about the particular case being brought before the court, as it did not even exist yet. It will be very easy for her to write a letter just like Scalia explaining why recusal isn't needed.

I do not think that the case needed to have “existed yet”, but the fact the one expressed an opinion while working in government service. She was working in government service when she expressed the opinion and that is where the question arises given the code above.

Kagan = Recuse

Why? Because you don't like her? All Justices that CrusaderFrank does not like must recuse themselves!
