RUSH EXCERPT:
TOLMAN: "Yeah, Bret, you know, there was a time in which judges really bent over backwards to make sure that the public had a perception of fairness. And a perception of impartiality. And I know judges that for far less will recuse themselves in order to give some confidence to the public. We don’t see that in this case. Instead, we have some gray and hazy evidence that he received the case, perhaps on purpose. We also don’t know why he didn’t take the higher road and give confidence."
