re: #183 pink freud

Just jumping into the thread, but I want to add that she finds herself in the unique position of having one of her rulings that has been appealed to the SC being ruled upon (and possibly overturned) as she sits for confirmation.

(The Connecticut fireman case, the ruling of which should be returned by the Supremes in July.)

I think she’d have to recuse herself, wouldn’t she? I thought there was a similar incident with another Justice, and they recused themselves from that case.
