    The same way most of us did, he's an American citizen, and/or he believes in Truth, Justice, and the American Way

    In general, I think recusing herself from court cases is shirking her duties, but we haven't heard her reason. It may simply be because she was not present for the arguments and did not want to impose herself on the court by repeating the whole process. In this case her vote would not have changed the ruling.

    What you don't realize is that your posts prove a lot of things. Number one that your seriously partisan, Number 2 that you will turn anything into political nonsense.

    She recused herself because it was time to vote and she hadn't had an opportunity to read the case.

    More BOLD FACE LIES from the liberal media! You even watch the story and they don't even mention recusal. She said she took no part in the decision. That is not recusal.

    Any lies and deceit to get rid of Trump. As un-American as you can get!

    I feel that the original poster would have still lambasted Justice Barret if she did vote on the case. I feel the criticism would be she did not hear oral arguments, did not participate in deliberations, did not have an opportunity to ask questions of the petitioners, did not review case law to check the soundness of the pending case or any of the other things that judges usually do to make sound and well reasoned rulings. Is the OP advocating that proper evidence, facts, a careful study of case law, and deliberations with other justices are unimportant?

    Since I believe the case that the OP would be making is voting while completely unprepared is bad, and not voting is bad, one needs to look at the essence of the argument:

    Conservative Supreme Court Justice = Bad

    Once one arrives at that conclusion, is there anything left to argue?

    I agree with this, but the OP has valid points.

    She doesn’t want to expose her position before the election

    I find that interesting, so it was OK when Ruth BabyKiller Ginsburg ignored the constitution to impose her personal views as a Justice but not ok for anyone else to do that. OK.
