re: #180 Obdicut

What is the conflict of interest? That it’s a law affecting gay people?

Seriously, dude, this is piss-poor logic. Another analogy would be that a female judge couldn’t rule on any issue that involved women’s rights, or a black judge couldn’t rule on any issue involving a hate crime against blacks.

If we are going to set the standard of conflict so low as to apply to all spousal interests (C. Thomas), then personal lifestyle would become another all too small reason to call for recusal.
