I meant when the time comes. I have no problem with judges recusing if there is a conflict of interest, just like I have no problem with Attorney Generals recusing if a conflict of interest comes up. I think, in a perfect world, elected and appointed figures should not only avoid impropriety, but even the appearance of impropriety. Positions of public trust morally and ethically require it.If you do not know him, here is the wiki write up. I am still of a mind, that not unethical for her to accept nomination, not unethical for trump to nominate, fairly unethical for Moscow Mitch and Lindsey to go back on their earlier pronouncements. Would be unethical for her to not recuse on 2020 election issues. At this time, I have no problem with her ethics or credentials.![]()

Amy Coney Barrett’s qualifications are irrelevant. Her willingness to accept the nomination under these circumstances reveals a disqualifying lack of character.

Don't know him. Never heard of him. But he is one of those Loon-Left-Bloggers whose political inclinations are so absurd, that his psychopathology becomes interesting.
Assholes like this live in a bubble, usually in one of those big bubbles--New York and Washington being prime examples---where they look (metaphorically) West and most certainly South, generally to the Heartland---and can't see anything but scenes from the old movie "Deliverance", and that presumably is their excuse for listening to no one except Assholes just like them---resulting in them making complete fools out of themselves in posts like the above.

A nobody who has gained a wee bit of temporary notoriety by making a complete fool of himself.
He's done one other thing. He's shown just how desperate Assholes like him are to come up with something to criticize this outstanding Jurist, Woman, Human--Amy Coney Barrett.

Why would she recuse from cases that haven't been filed, didn't you just say you have no problem with her ethics or credentials?
BTW I asked for a link because board rules require one when you quote someone and was hoping to get a bit more context.

Yep but under your standard no justice or judge could consider a case that involved the administration of the president that appointed them, does that really makes sense to you?
