Powerful arguments for #recusal (#Alito and #Thomas) come straight from former justice #AnthonyKennedy.
“In Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., from 2009, the court held that a state supreme court justice was constitutionally disqualified from a case in which the president of a corporation appearing before him had helped to get him elected by spending $3 million promoting his campaign.”

@kegill This recusal thing is mind-boggling.
If they truly believe in the legitimacy of their own court, then they have literally nothing to lose by recusing.
But they have potentially everything to lose by refusing to recuse themselves when it's blatantly obvious they should.
Is it hubris? Ego? I'm not one to jump to malice, but I can't rule it out either.
