I'm sorry, what about the regulatory enforcement process requires that the regulators not have pre-existing opinions? Unless Khan has a true conflict of interest, I don't understand how this can possibly be grounds for recusal. They're effectively saying the regulator can't have opinions about the businesses or markets they're regulating, which is absurd on its face.
