JW Sues Obama DOJ for Records Related to Justice Kagan’s Role in Obamacare Discussion

Sallow? Rightwinger? Nothing, huh?

You calling me? It is nice when your opinion is valued

Clarence Thomas has a financial stake in the decision. He has already earned money off of his wife fighting Obamacare and a decision in favor of Obamacare would affect his wifes future earnings

Grounds for recusal

So, what you're saying is that a wife's salary belongs to her husband. How terribly "liberal" of you.
Care to discus Michelle obama's hospital job obtained when her husband smeared his way into the Senate?

Basically apples and oranges.

In the Supreme Court of the United States, the Justices typically voluntarily recuse themselves from participating in cases in which they have a financial interest. For example, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor generally did not participate in cases involving telecommunications firms because she owned stock in such firms, while Justice Stephen Breyer has disqualified himself in some cases involving insurance companies because of his participation in a Lloyd's of London syndicate. Justices also have declined to participate in cases in which close relatives, such as their children, are lawyers for one of the parties. On occasion, recusal takes place under more unusual circumstances; for example, in two cases, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist stepped down from the bench when cases were argued by Arizona attorney James Brosnahan, who had testified against Rehnquist at his confirmation hearing in 1986. Whatever the reason for recusal, the United States Reports will record that the named Justice "took no part in the consideration or decision of this case."
