she wouldn’t. the dem narrative is that she needs to because she was appointed by trump, so she either explicitly cut a deal with him to rule for him in exchange for the nomination (a lie) or she will rule in his favor out of a sense of obligation for the nomination, or there is such a conflict of interest that the only ethical course is recusal. it’s all bullshit, of course. they’re just trying to get the cases argued in front of 8 justices because they know john roberts will defect and they will either win outright or tie 4-4, in which case the lower courts ruling (made in dem run states full of activist judges) is upheld.
funnily, they didn’t expect any of 0bama’s 3 picks to recuse themselves from the 0bamacare suits.
Why would ACB need to recuse herself?
