Legal scholars Kavanaugh must recuse himself in Trump related cases

Wasington Times -President Trump has so badly poisoned the confirmation process for his Supreme Court nominee that the entire proceedings must be shelved, superstar Harvard University law professor Laurence H. Tribe said Tuesday, tossing a new objection onto the pile.

Mr. Tribe joined former Judge Timothy K. Lewis and Obama White House ethics adviser Norman L. Eisen in arguing Judge Brett Kavanaugh needs to recuse himself from “the full swath of cases” dealing with Mr. Trump and his legal entanglements.

And the three said until that happens, the confirmation hearings, which began Tuesday and are to stretch all week, must be halted.
