According to 28 USC 455, Supreme Court justices must recuse from “any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned” and if they have at any time “expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy” while he or she “served in governmental employment.”

I'm confused. Where does that rule invoke a "spouses clause" even when said spouse is not or has not "served in governmental employment."

You rest on the "rule of emotion" rather than the "rule of law".
