Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says he will not recuse himself from a major tax case. His statement, attached to a Supreme Court orders list on Friday, came after Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote to the chief justice in August, urging that steps be taken to assure that Alito not take part in the tax case.
Durbin's letter said that Alito should be recused because the justice had recently done two interviews with David Rivkin, a lawyer and opinion columnist with the Wall Street Journal, who is one of the lawyers in the tax case that is to be argued before the court, likely in December.

I am not sure being interviewed twice means the Justice can't be impartial. I have no problem disagreeing with my friends, both close and acquaintance.

It sets a bad standard which those elected officials at city level will use to justify not to recuse themselves from a vote.
