Recusal a must

-

If the question of whether President Trump can be investigat­ed or indicted while in office comes before the Supreme Court, any justice Trump has nominated should recuse himself or herself in order to protect the court and the country from the damaging and divisive implicatio­n or suspicion that there was a personal quid quo pro for the nomination.

The appearance of impropriet­y can be as corrosive as impropriet­y itself, especially in this heated political environmen­t. Maureen Wharton, Houston
