"Federal law requires recusal from a case if a judicial officer of the United States 'has served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser or material witness concerning the proceeding or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case or controversy.' 28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(3). In addition, a federal judge must disqualify herself from participating in a matter if her 'impartiality might reasonably be questioned.' Id. at § 455(a). It appears that former Solicitor General Kagan’s participation in the Obama Administration’s defense of the PPACA may satisfy both requirements for recusal."[ Townhall by Bob Beauprez] finance.townhall.com/columnists/bobbeauprez/2011/11/20/gop_senators_join_call_for_kagan_recusal_as_required_by_law Elena Kagan: The Justice Who Knew Too Much[ Judicial Crisis Network by Carrie Severino] judicialnetwork.com/files/Recusal4.pdf

Senate GOP Leaders To Holder: Your Kagan Testimony 'Belied By The Facts'[ CNSNews by Terence Jeffrey] cnsnews.com/news/article/senate-gop-leaders-holder-your-kagan-testimony-belied-facts"Unfortunately, your Department has rejected all Congressional oversight requests for information about Kagan's role in the Obama Administration's defense of this law. You recently told the Senate, incredibly, that you were not even aware of Congressional requests on this topic, and that your Department handled Kagan's duties as relates to such matters in a way that is belied by the facts, namely that you physically removed Kagan from all meetings discussing litigation." - Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY-R), Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (AZ-R), Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Charles Grassley (IA-R) and Sen. Mike Lee (UT-R), who is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
