Harvard DHS lawsuit revives Supreme Court conflict of interest questions
Fox News
Supreme Court justices with Harvard ties could face scrutiny as the university's lawsuit against the Trump administration's visa policy heads to the high court.
Professor James Sample, a constitutional law professor at Hofstra University, told Fox News Digital recusals from every case involving universities justices attended or were linked to would be "untenable," but recusals could be appropriate in certain circumstances.

A recusal is "entirely subjectively applied by the justice in his or her own case, and, rightly or wrongly — and I'm among those who have criticized the practice — the practice on the Supreme Court is that only the justice in his or her own case, and no one else, makes that determination," Sample said.
