Carney’s basic argument here is that Kagan was vetted in her nomination process and therefore suggesting she should now recuse herself is nothing but a political attack. Puh-lease. There are emails that have only been recently made available that raise legitimate questions regarding her involvement in ObamaCare, that Carney completely ignores, as you’ll see at the end of this video.

Also, they could only get 5 Republican votes (Collins, Graham, Gregg, Lugar,Snowe) in 2010 for her nomination. The Democrats were only 1 vote short of their near super-majority being unanimous. To suggest that her vetting was impartial and legitimate is looking at it through partisan eyes. But that’s exactly what Carney is doing, especially considering that he is ignoring legitimate evidence that suggests she should recuse herself.

What a hack:

    By what grounds are the liberals asking Justice Thomas to recuse himself? Elena Kagan has a clear conflict of interest and Should be recused on those grounds.

    Listening to Carney is a political attack. Where do I go to complain?

    She’s fat, she’s ugly, she’s liberal and she’s not recusing herself.

    We need a Constitutional Amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s rulings with a Super majority in the House and Senate.

      And I think you need to take a good, long look at what kind of decisions would be open to such a power. Such a request is a very dangerous request, indeed.

      Actually it is not all that hard to do. Simply remind the Supreme court , it’s job is simply to see if a current law is constitutional. If they try to add, modify, or suggest change, they are simply removed from office, for malfesance by the justice department. Of course, assuming you can get the government to do it’s job.

      • http://www.kennethballard.com Kenneth

        The Justice Department has no authority to remove a Supreme Court justice. That power lies with the House of Representatives and their power of impeachment.

    Yes, there were politics.
    I am angry at Graham and those RINO’s who cofirmed her and did not vet her properly.
    She should recuse.

    He’s the representative for the POTUS right? Does he know Obama has been running around the country attacking Republicans for months now? The man represents the biggest political attacker on the scene right now.

    (Collins, Graham, Gregg, Lugar,Snowe) appeasers. This is where appeasement gets you. Maybe I should use the term they lovingly call themselves, “Moderates.”

    The same situation with Eric Holder. Several Republicans voted to approve Holder, knowing of his past. They were appeasers. They wanted to look nice, and now we have dead people. When a situation like the above arises, there is always a so called “Moderate,” it can be attributed to.

    Carney’s not only a dem, he’s a dedicated professional dem. If you parachuted him into a forest of lies with only a moral compass and a knife, he’d destroy the moral compass and start building a home.

    Being clueless as he is, I am sure it is a mystery to Carney. More importantly, though, who was that infobabe questioning him? Put her on a trivet ’cause she’s hhhhhhhhot!

    I’m speechless over how corrupt our nation has become. The reasons why she is suppose to recuse HERSELF is glaringly obvious. It’s almost like we need to start all over.

      SaraPFan, You are so right. A Supreme Court justice, by definition and expectation, is supposed to be above partisanship and the gold standard of what’s right, fair and just. If she doesn’t recuse herself she doesn’t deserve the seat.

    If she doesn’t recuse herself, the other 8 members ought to pull her robe up over her head and shove her out the SC front door.

    SIGH. It seems worse every day. She wasn’t “properly vetted”, she committed PERJURY. Not only should she be recused, she should be yanked off the bench, disbarred and jailed.
