It does not. You need to ask a judge to recuse themselves and if that doesn’t work ask the court above them to reassign. If they even take it up. Usually the biased judge hears the case then it gets appealed. Which wastes a lot of time and a lot of money.

Judges really shouldn’t be allowed to own stock. And if they do it should be blind trusts.

They either need term limits or a way for us to recall them.

Especially this guy. He’s king partisan.

Because they were the progressive ideologues of their day.

And were also often stymied from giving the constitution real teeth by the big slave holding states as well, don’t forget. The right wing was doing shenanigans at the very founding of the country.

If this is the court i’m thinking of, this circuit is already trying to mandate a better lottery system because of shopping for this particular judge.

Of course it’s fucking Reed O’connor

This will get overturned on appeal. He’s frequently overturned for shit like this.

He can be the first to be convicted of it then. Trump loves superlatives

He’s already been convicted by one jury. It’s not impossible

They’ve got a lot of lawsuits against him already. And this act he can’t use “presidential duties” to hide behind because he ain’t president. If there’s evidence I can see Garland prosecuting.

I don’t see fox news reporting on Trump breaching the Logan act. They also know that Netanyahu will stop the attacks the second trump is elected to help him politically. It’s gross.

It’s Iran-Contra all over again.

Tell that to those abolitionists who were not convicted of harboring fugitive slaves because of jury nullification.

Sometimes laws aren’t just. And as citizens we have a right to stand up to unjust laws.
