Washington is a fishbowl.
That's why I think it would be good to spread that society out a bit

The point of recusing oneself is to ensure that justice is seen to be done, and that there is no question of personal bias.
If you honestly don't believe this situation smells a bit fishy, then I don't know what to say. Maybe get some olfactory testing done?

Trying to say it is "okay" because the other side did it does not make it right.
People here link to stories about people robbing, or something. If the next person who robs something uses the excuse that previous people have done it, does that excuse their behavior?

I honestly find it hard to believe that the wife of a Supreme Court justice would be sending texts like this to the WH Chief of Staff.
It's bloody bizarre behaviour. Sure, she's an activist, but if we believe what we read, the lack of awareness is pretty amazing.

No, you never justify bad behavior by pointing out someone else's bad behavior.
But when someone else's bad behavior is ignored, it's difficult to sympathize with the current outrage.

In this case there is no particular evidence I am aware of that comes close to proving he did something inappropriate. This is not so vague in the case of Sotomayor. It has the appearance of quid pro quo.

In politics, where one weighs a personal choice between two acknowledged evils, whataboutism is a perfectly honest and reasonable way to think about things. And if whataboutism happens to render all anecdotal debate moot, because there's always an anecdote to cancel another anecdote, all the better. Those anecdotes are all worthless anyway, trying to make some moralistic point that never held any water to begin with.

Whenever anybody criticises me for Whataboutism, I just point to other people who use the tactic.

You have a Sunni disposition, though. For a Wahhabist, anyway.
