Why Ruth Bader Ginsburg should be voting in favor of Trump’s travel ban EO — 6 Comments

  1. DOJ will need to make a motion for her to recuse herself citing all of her statements. She will then, of course, deny it. In a halfway decent world, all fair-minded people should condemn her for the fake Justice that she is.

  2. Yes, Ginsburg should recuse herself for the reasons cited. If she does not recuse herself she either rules in favor of Trump’s entirely legal travel ban or reveals herself to be what she has accused Trump of being… a faker.

    In which case she must resign or confirm herself to be a fake, thus demonstrating her unfitness for the office she holds.

    Her hubris has finally manuevered her into a position from which she cannot escape. Not that she’ll be held to account. But the truth will have outed itself.

  3. Why should recusal come from oneself??
    Recusal is a holdover from a former era of higher ethical standards.

  4. Over at LegalInsurrection, Olinser noted (@5:15 am) that Ginsberg’s vote is superfluous anyway.

    If it was going to be 5-4 with her, then without her its 4-4, and the lower court decision stands.

    Any other vote count simply changes how big a majority wins the decision.

    Perhaps the real question is, given her stated antipathy to Trump, should she be party to any discussion or arguments about staying the injunction?

  5. It’s not a ban. It’s a delay proportional to foreign government competence to provide character witnesses. Despite the liberals’ Pro-Choice religious/moral/legal philosophy, principles do matter, and are skilled predictors of character.

    They really need to lose their Pro-Choice religion and [class] diversity doctrine that judges people by the “color of their skin”.
