#SCOTUS Justice Alito declines to recuse from a pending tax case after he gave two interviews to one of the participating lawyers for use in a Wall Street Journal article. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-08/supreme-court-s-alito-rejects-democratic-calls-to-recuse-in-case#xj4y7vzkg
Why should he recuse? Giving an interview is not exactly a conflict of interests that would normally warrant recusal.
Supreme Court justices live in the real world like the rest of us. This haranguing just seems politically motivated.
Well right, because in the US system inferior courts not only handle vastly different sorts of questions but exist under the politicized branch subject to legislative oversight.
So it's apples and oranges, even if we were going to accept that because it happens there it should happen here.
@volkris @w7voa the real world where any inferior court judge would be removed for the bench for accepting and concealing the types of gifts he has admitted to.
