        Chris Geidner Retweeted Fix the Court

        Whoa: @FixTheCourt says that 7 out of 9 — as in, all but Kennedy and Thomas — are likely recused due to the funds in which the justices are invested:https://twitter.com/FixTheCourt/status/981260960437596160 …

        Chris Geidner added,

        Fix the Court @FixTheCourt
        7 of 9 j's RECUSED from petition bc parties = major retirement funds they own, e.g.: JGR: Eaton Vance, Gabelli, Blackrock, Vanguard RBG: TIAA-CREF, Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan SGB: TIAA, Deutsche, JPM SAA: B'rock, Fidelity, V'guard, USAA SS: B'rock, Nuveen EK: V'guard NMG: TIAA, USAA

        Replying to @chrisgeidner
        We support the justices having these types of investments bc the alternative - justices owning individual stocks, like Microsoft or IBM or Google or GE - leads to many more recusals than solely holding retirement/savings accounts

        Because the Justices have financial interests in parties?

        The idea that anyone can serve in Congress, a PAS position, as Prez/VP, or as a judge and have ANY non-index fund-like investments boggles my mind more and more each and every day.

        For those curious what the referenced 28 U.S. Code § 2109 says... One would imagine this would result from predicted recusals rather than Kennedy and Thomas predicting death or illness.https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/2109 …

        But wait. One vacant seat does not create the lack of a quorum. They heard cases while Scalia's seat was vacant.

        A quorum sufficient for the Court to hear a case is six justices. 28 U.S.C. § 1.
