Trump: RBG And Sotomayor Should Recuse Themselves

The New York Post reports:



President Trump on Monday night called for Supreme Court justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg to recuse themselves from any cases involving his administration after a recent stinging dissent by Sotomayor.

Trump was responding to a statement from Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who said Sotomayor accused “GOP appointed Justices of being biased” in favor of the president. The justice, who was appointed by President Obama, wrote that the Trump administration repeatedly uses the reason of “emergency basis” to bypass lower courts.

“Claiming one emergency after another, the Government has recently sought stays in an unprecedented number of cases, demanding immediate attention and consuming limited Court resources in each,” Sotomayor wrote in the dissent.
