Who knows? Why don't you ask her? She is not the one who made the statement. You should know that when you pick apart someone's record, anyone's, you'll find some stuff to criticize.

Why is this a conflict of interest and Clarence Thomas's and that other con Justice cozying up to large corporations and then passing Citizens United not?

House Probing Kagan's Link to Obamacare

No problem- it will be repealed. I cannot see medicare being cut to make way for Obamacare. Seniors vote and poor people do not vote.

This is pure politics. With Kagen gone any decision on the Affordable Care Act before the Court will almost certainly go against the ACA. Any Republicans who tries to tell you that this is to preserve the integrity of the court is full of ****

Since Thomas was already on the court well before 0bamacare became an issue and did not lie about his opinion, hardly the same thing. Except to the excuse makers.

Fortunately, what you consider is as worthless as your opinions.

In answer to a request, I responded. Because you dislike the source you call it BS. While others consider your sources BS. Talk about a conflict of interests.

Link to another source other than Newsmax, didn't you say there were newspapers reporting on this?

You have a problem with the message, or the messenger?

The message hasn't changed.

The truth has no agenda.

The GOP would have an easier time investigating Justice Thomas for conflit of interest relating to Liberty Central. Kagan would be a more difficult investigation.

But that is not what reclusing yourself is about. When you have taken a position in prior matters involved in the question ;you recluse yourself from the issue so as not to taint the decision. Its not done because there is positve proof you would be swayed by it;its all about the appearance that can be drawn.It infures nothing of the persons honesty but protects it really.A former CEO of a company will resluce hislef i matter that involve the company for example so as not to taint the decision made.
