High Court Rejects Request For Debate Over Elena Kagan's Recusal From Health Law Review

[ehrnst]

The justices, who are scheduled to hear more than five hours of arguments challenging the health law, turned down the request without comment. Kagan did not participate in the decision.

1. The Shill

The Hill: Her absence from Monday's order does not indicate that Kagan is likely to heed calls for her recusal. She has taken part in all of the procedural decisions related to the healthcare challenge itself. Conservative groups say Kagan should sit out the case because she led the office that began preparing the Obama administration's healthcare defense before she was tapped for the high court (Baker, 1/23).

She has? And of course "conservative" groups (kind of like, "people say&quot should sit out the case.

Really. The Hill should rename their paper to The Shill.
