[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the entire letter.  Sorry, liberals.  He is not recusing and cannot be forced to do so.

Why “sorry liberals”?

If you are an American and a patriot, you too should consider the damage that Alito is doing to SCOTUS.  That damage is ultimately worse for the United States than for “liberals”.  You too should desire a SCOTUS that is above reproach and the envy of the world.  Our rule of law has made us a global force to be reckoned with.

Alito is mocking the country and everything the United States stands for.

If you are an American, shame on you for not loving your country.  [/quote]

LOL the hysteria over the actions of a judge’s wife that even the Post saw as a non story three years ago.  [/quote]

And yet you GOPers have been hysterical over a judge's daughter who doesn't even live with him.

Explain yourselves.[/quote]

DP.  Who/what on earth are you still babbling about?  You've already posted about this and it's entirely off-topic.  And as usual, you're speaking to everyone as if they themselves are "guilty" of whatever it is you're obsessing over.  Stick to the topic of this thread.[/quote]
Actually, that was an astute point. Many MAGA types think Judge Merchan can’t be impartial because of his daughter’s political connections, but also think it’s ridiculous for anyone to suggest that Justice Alito should recuse himself from January 6th cases because his wife has a bad habit of flying flags that were co-opted by the insurrectionists.[/quote]

New York law 100.3 e(1)d(iii) states “a judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to instances where the judge knows that the judge or the judge’s spouse, or a person known by the judge to be within the sixth degree of relationship to either of them, or the spouse of such a person has an interest that could be substantially affected by the proceeding.”

New York State Bar Association Committee on Professional Ethics, Opinion 673 (1995)(“Whether a judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned is necessarily a question of fact in each case. Even if the judge believes that he or she can be impartial, the judge should recuse himself or herself if an objective, disinterested observer could reasonably question the judge’s impartiality.”).

There is a significant factual difference between Judge Merchan and Justice Alito.  The fact that the Washington Post passed on the story 3+ years ago is indicative that an objective, disinterested observer would not question Justice Alito's impartiality.  The "Appeal to Heaven" flag is a legal flag and until recently flew at the San Francisco Civic Center along with the Gasden Flag (Don't Tread on Me).[/quote]
