It doesn't say she recused herself from hearing the case, only that she recused herself from the decision to take the case.In its notice, the court said Justice Elena Kagan had recused herself from the decision to take the case.
Justice Kagan has come under fire for not recusing herself from the decision to hear challenges to the new health care law.
She was Mr. Obamas solicitor general from March 2009 up through May 2010, though she stopped taking part in cases in March 2010 so she would preserve her ability to hear them as a justice.
The health care law was signed in March 2010. Arizonas immigration law passed in April 2010.
Supreme Court will hear Arizona immigration case - Washington Times
So what is the difference between the immigration bill and Obamacare?
Someone care to explain why she recused from immigration but not Obamacare both of which she worked on!
In other words, she was not involved in whether or not the case would be heard.
Is there more information here? Did she actually recuse herself from hearing the case?
