That honestly seems like just a matter of standard procedure I mean it would be a serious ethics violation to be a judge presiding over your own lawsuit
why didnt engeron recuse himself after the video of him hating trump 10 years ago went viral, or his wife was exposed running an anti trump meme account on twitter as the trial began??
The Supreme Court of the United States shall consist of a Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices, any six of whom shall constitute a quorum.
The Chief Justice counts as a member and he, along with the 8 associate justices equal 9. If three opt out, there is still 6 remaining members which constitutes the quorum necessary to act.

they dont care about ethics. its all power plays
Exactly. If they did preside over the cases against them, everyone would have a shit fit.
An obvious case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Does the Supreme Court require a quorum to act?
Yes, any 6.

So if three opt out, they win by default? Lovely.

Explain like I'm 5? This doesn't sound good for the Brunson brothers.
The petition was denied, but since the liberal justices were named as defendants, they recused themselves from the denial decision.
Also this will fuel the fire to get Alito and Thomas to recuse in the future.
No it will not.
Alito can tell them to go to hell.
He did.
Let the reeeee begin.
And there you go.

Appreciated!
Even the Wise Latina™??
They only recused themselves so they could point a finger when Trump returns.
Too bad the case was still denied. Still, this is good to know. Thanks for the post.
So what's the purpose of the lawsuit if it can't do anything about the case being denied? I think the entire point is to reverse that verdict.
WTF Newsweek has a fairness meter?
This article was actually non bias and they didn’t blame shot on Trump.
