You may be right... But even if it's not an impeachable offense, he should be recused from any participation in the debate over the Health Care law.
"The Supreme Court is "the only judicial body in the country that is not governed by a set of judicial ethical rules," Gillers said.".... Now there's a "quote of the day"....

I do disagree with your assessment of my assessment. I did not say there were no repubs with the same myopia, nor did I give any estimate of the #'s.
(Archer, I also did not say there were no dems that were not angry with corrupt politicians of both parties.) :Whistle

Why? I don't see that failure to disclose should mean he should recuse himself. It's got nothing to do with the health care bill and the failure to disclose happened way before that. If he recuses for that then he should recuse for everything which makes no sense.
His wife worked for the Heritage Foundation making hundreds of thousands and they did oppose the law. If it can be shown that she actively lobbied against the law, then he should recuse himself. I previously posted the US Code about this and could find it again.
This just looks like positioning to stack the court in advance of this decision. Do you want to know who will win the appeal? Those with the most influence (read dollars) in Washington. It makes no difference what the constitutionality is. Just in case nobody has noticed, we've been sold down the river by a bunch of pond scum.
If this ends up another 5-4 decision, then I'll be even more disappointed than I already am with the Supreme Court. It will just continue to show that each party has perfected the art of appointing their own "Stepford Wives" to the Court.
At least other than Anthony Kennedy (appointed by Reagan, not that he gets credit for his mistake). Have the Stepford Wives made Kennedy the most powerful person in the country?
