A judge who worked at the same law firm as an attorney representing a party in a case before him should recuse himself from the case. I don’t know why Habba is backing down on this, and the denial about mentoring was not under oath. People should file an ethics complaint about the judge, and it doesn’t need to come from Trump or his lawyers.
Yes. This is just one aspect. There are other aspects that shout for this to be overturned.
In a normal, Legal, Republic of the Rule of Law.

Right. And it doesn’t matter if it was 30 days ago or 30 years ago. Judges are supposed to be independent, and impartial. They are supposed to have no connections to either party.
Oh, well. We all know that fairness plays no part in Biden’s America.
Some of these firms have thousands of lawyers and different fields of practice. They may have never even met. That would be more like having attended the same law school. If it was a small firm with only a few partners and associates, that would be quite different. JMHO.
