Right on. Forget “what if every judge recused for this level of conflict!”, they already do that, and it doesn’t really put a dent in judge supply.

- asveikau 4y agoI think there are prominent examples where they don't. We notice those because they seem unfair. Recusals that do happen probably don't usually make headlines.
- DannyBee 4y agoActually, they 100% do not recuse for this level of conflict. I'm not sure why you believe otherwise, or what data you have to support. Recusals are extremely rare, and it is common for judges to have SO's or children or .... in law firms that, at some point, represented someone before a judge, without the person having been involved. Which is the case here. They do not recuse. So no, they do not "already do that". If they did, it really would put a dent in the judge supply - there are not that many federal judges.
