Chief Justice Roberts . . .

. . . is of the opinion that the Court's recent recusal ruling will undermine confidence in the judiciary. Somehow he seems to think a judge not recusing himself in a case in which said judge received $3 million in campaign contributions from a party and then casting a deciding vote in the case in favor of said party has not already done that. This case should have been a no-brainer 9-0 decision. Sure it requires a discretionary standard but the ethics rule requires discretion as well, that does not mean we should scrap it.
