No, here is the actual definition, per the US Courts website:
“ Judges may not hear cases in which they have either personal knowledge of the disputed facts, a personal bias concerning a party to the case, earlier involvement in the case as a lawyer, or a financial interest in any party or subject matter of the case.”
Nothing in there about who appointed them.
Keep failing with the same point. Maybe it will sound different the fifth time you try.
How to sign up and prove you are a Toobin on FR without saying you are a Toobin. Give it up loser.
Begone troll.
My wife and I were visiting her sister and her two grown children. They were talking about all the work they did on the farm to prepare a chicken dinner. You have to catch the chicken, cut his head off, pluck the feathers...
I broke in and said you have to choke the chicken and my cousin and I burst out laughing. None of the women got it, and we never explained it.
They lie about the circumstances whenever it's convenient for them.
Now that his staff say Biden is vibrant and full of energy anyone know when his documents trial is scheduled to start?
The Toobinator hisself.
Toobin ... when your name becomes a verb ...
Bye, troll….
Don’t let my mahogany door hit you in the ass…
You are an average person and I don’t mean that as in insult. I mean it in the sense that to you this is cut and dry conflict of interest. But that is not how it works. No offense but look up the statutes. It is not a bright line much less as specific as “ no judge may rule in a case where the person that appointed them appears.” The rule is that IF a conflict renders a judge incapable of rendering their independent professional judgment then they must recuse. Judges preside over all kinds of cases where there are potential conflicts. This is because they deem that they are capable of remaining impartial. Sotomayor , Kagan, Ginsberg, Alito, Thomas have all heard cases where the average people on both sides cry conflict. But they still hear the cases and the verdict stands because the judges make the call.
