Now this is encouraging news to hear isn't it? This is starting to get interesting as the republicans come off a historic win and it has now been confirmed that Obama's supreme court pic Kagan was a cornerstone in squashing some of the other eligibility cases that has been against him as her role as solicitor general. Does this mean she would have to recuse herself since she was involved before? I would think that the 2 would be asked to recuse themselves, if they didn't do so voluntarily. Recall, as of 10/4/10, Kagan had already recused herself from 25 of the (then) 51 cases the court had accepted up till then due to a conflict of interest type situation. IF they were recused, that would leave a strong balance of "conservative" leaning justices of 4, the "swing" vote with Kennedy who said he wasn't leaving the bench til Barry was out of office and then 2 "lib" justices.
