Congress Demands Justice Ginsberg's Recusal on Trump Travel Ban Case

Congress had demanded the recusal of Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the trump travel ban case. This letter has been hand delivered to RBG. They have a point, she obviously overstepped.

Now will she recuse? Or will congress finally get to impeach someone!?

RBG

Has never happened... I hate how everyone throws around that word on both sides.

Who were the congressmen that signed this request?

It appears to be incomplete.

Nevermind. It appears 58 republicans signed it.

Haven't had a judge defy congress.

Those statements are what it takes? So members of the SCOTUS are gong to now be asked to bow out case by case based on there like or dislike of a politician. Half the country might agree with her words.

It's about travel not Trump.

Absolutely. The rules for judges are to not comment on political campaigns or politicians. How can one be viewed as impartial after disparaging a president personally?

a reply to: introvert

There you go. That one has the signatures.

Someone will have to remind the poor old dear who Trump is, first.

a reply to: Dfairlite

She had better do the right thing and recuse on this case.

What about any other subject. Any could become a decision sent to the court. There HAS to be a bias, not just someone's perception.

What about the other side?

If a judge is very pro religion, maybe there is a bias there. It's a touchy line to start going down.

She should just retire already, have Trump fill her seat, that would be justice.

a reply to: roadgravel

Yes, and RBG has proven she's biased against trump. This is a travel ban put in place by him, where the defense is trying to use his campaign rhetoric as evidence.

a reply to: Dfairlite

This not true, the Supreme court usually rules by the interpretation of the constitution, they do not make laws.

The law is clear and all she can do if she doesn't agree is not give a vote.

Still she is getting senile.

A judge's view on an issue is not something that requires recusal. They're allowed their views. What they're not allowed to do is oversee a case where a defendant or witness is someone they've openly supported or disparaged. Nor should they comment on a case that they may be seated to judge, else they'll need to recuse themselves.
