Ahh, an interesting question. A first response would be that he should recuse himself so that the process would remain impartial. But if he did then the balance of the court would change and that itself would make the process lose impartiality.When a local judge recuses himself he is replaced by another judge at random. Who will replace Thomas if he steps aside?Assuming another judge can be temporarily assigned to take his place without partiality he should recuse himself. If not then he must remain. Perhaps his wife could change her role.Though apparently I have a higher standard than most.
