    Let me get this straight, just because they could stand to gain financially does not mean they should recuse themselves. Furthermore we have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt decision X results is Y extra money to satisfy you.

    If you move the goalpost past Jupiter I guess there is no corruption at all. Keep moving along nothing to see here…

      You could have just said it was speculation. All the attacks and lies about what I am doing or what would satisfy me were completely unnecessary.

      That is a pretty ridiculous response, frankly. If you’re saying this judge should step aside, you should be able to back that statement up with at least some evidence.

        There are plenty of judges without this conflict of interest available. They recuse themselves because ethically it is what is right. There is no shame, it is normal procedure.

        A judge who has a large investment should not rule on a case that they have a financial interest in. Even if you believe they could remain impartial it breeds distrust in the process.

        So you are arguing they should prove 100% that their claim is true but that is not how it works. Corruption is a real issue and your hand waving isn’t making it go away.

          You’re treating the fact this is a conflict of interest as a foregone conclusion, and I’m not convinced the link between the two is strong enough to be a concern.
