Some Democrats are starting to call on President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, to recuse herself from any role in determining November’s election results.
“I certainly wish she would, it would help matters. And it would evidence the fact that she wants to be fair in addressing this,” Sen. Dick Durbin, Illinois Democrat, said on ABC News.
“This president has been outspoken and outrageous, to think that he would not verdict of the election and that he would make it clear that he’s filling this vacancy on the Supreme Court to make sure it tips his way if there’s any election contest, that is an outrage.

Kagan didn't recuse over Obamacare, did she? Sit down and shut up, please.

I don’t remember Sotomyor or Kagan recusing themselves when Obama cases came before the SC.

Why should she? Especially if she sees fraud going on. I say the lefties should recuse themselves, because they already plan to vote to help the Democrats no matter what evidence is presented.
You only recuse yourself if you can't give an unbiased opinion. Democrats never recuse because they're inherently dishonest. But they always try to get a Republican to recuse simply because they have and opinion.

Nice try, dims. So you have already warned Chief Justice Roberts that you will expose him and his trips to Orgy Island if he votes in favor of President Trump's re-election?

Dems know they have lost. Now they are trying to bargain in bad faith with nothing to offer. Republicans, before Trump, always bought into dem bad deals that gave dems what they wanted in return for what Republicans wanted sometime in the future. Such a future never happened.
Walk away from deals with dems. You always lose your soul.

Might as well ask her to recuse herself from Roe v. Wade cases as well. It would be foolish for any justice to recuse without first hand knowledge of a case.

Like Kagan's recusal in the Obamacare case?

Democrats think Republicans that get the job should recuse themselves from doing that job. Sessions was a fool. Let's hope Sessions was the last person fooled by the recusal scam.

She should recuse herself from NOTHING. Both Ginsberg and Kagan performed same sex marriage ceremonies before the issue came to the Supreme Court. (https://www.theguardian.com/law/2014/sep/22/elena-kagan-supreme-court-gay-marriage ) Both were obviously biased in favor of it but did not recuse themselves from Obergefell v. Hodges, the case which ultimately resulted in legalization of same sex marriage. As stated above, Kagan was involved in legal/policy decisions regarding Obamacare. She did not recuse herself from that SC decision either.
If that pesky 'living constitution' thing rears its head again after the election, I hope this justice will resist the temptation to make new law from the bench.

If the leftist Democrats had their way, all Republican nominated judges on the Supreme Count would be required to recuse themselves anytime the Democrats made such a demand when a politically charged case showed up at that court. Not going to happen.

I knew this was coming, but only an idiot or Jeff Sessions would fall for that. We must have her on the SCOTUS BEFORE the election precisely because we all know they will cheat like mad and the only thing to stand in their way is a conservative SCOTUS.

Elena Kagan never recused herself in the Obamacare case though she was involved in it. So in gentle words- Dems! Pound Sand

When the new justice DOESN'T recuse herself... we'll just call it a mostly recused stance.

The democrats are self imploding before the election even happens. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is just the latest new name to bash "Anything Conservative".

Clearly the Democrats know that President Trump is not about to nominate any under the covers liberal Republican, or a Republican who is actually a Democrat in disguise to the Supreme Court, and know that once Trump is re-elected with a Republican Senate what the next four years of potential Supreme Court nominations will portend.
