Richard Wagner, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, must recuse himself if there is to be a hearing of the federal government’s appeal in the Emergencies Act case, or risk poisoning the well of justice.
Wagner has shown such a prejudice toward the Freedom Convoy protesters as to raise questions about his impartiality. Questioning the impartiality of a judge, let alone the highest in the land, is a serious matter. But questions must be asked in light of inappropriate and impolitic comments made by Wagner in April 2022.
