A pair of high-profile recusals by Supreme Court justices last week reignited a fierce debate over judicial ethics, particularly following Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s withdrawal from a major religious liberty case.

Barrett, an appointee of President Donald Trump, chose earlier this year to recuse herself from a case surrounding the approval of the country’s first state-funded religious charter school. That choice led the high court to hand down a deadlocked ruling last week, giving a procedural win to opponents of faith-based charter schools, namely Oklahoma‘s Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond, who sued to block state funds for the virtual Catholic school.
