In this case, any judge will have the same problem. If they did not sign the petition are they to be excluded as well? I say no, this judge does not have a reason to be recused, or overruled based on his/her political convictions.

It seems to me no more of a conflict than if a judge had chosen NOT to sign a recall position. mysuzuki2 Mar 2012 #3

He's not ruling on Walker, he's ruling on a law passed by the full legislatur. There's a difference. sybylla Mar 2012 #6
