Our Amazing Supreme Court

I think that this is an interesting story.

Its tradition that when people go to work in the White House that they put their investments into a blind trust, so that they don't make policy decisions on the basis of their stockholdings. I think that in most cases, its perfectly fine for a Justice to recuse themself from a case, but as this case illustrates, sometimes it doesn't work. And it makes me wonder why the Justices are not required to put their investments in a blind trust as well.
