Althouse on Roberts and recusal

Here is law-prof blogger Ann Althouse's take on the "would Roberts recuse himself in abortion cases" debate.  And here is an op-ed by Jonathan Turley, in which he (in my view) appears to misunderstand the issue entirely.  Turley confuses a decision to recuse -- i.e., a decision not to take an action as a judge that would constitute culpable cooperation with evil -- with a decision to allow one's "personal religious views" to color one's interpretation of the law.

UPDATE:  Paul Horwitz at Prawfsblawg has a good post on Turley's error.
