What I want to know is why is this judge not now being forced to recuse himself?
The first judge, by law, had to recuse because a former clerk is now one of the attorneys to the case.
This judge used to work for Brown and Bain which merged with Perkins Coie. Now, Perkins Coie is one of the attorneys to the case.
How is this legal for the judge to continue to preside?
Excellent point, but they are Demolishcrats. They don’t have to recuse, resign, or face any consequences.
