text: The fact that a judge might have had a bad experience with their marriage or in a divorce ruling or might possess an unprovable bias is precisely why the rule allowing a party to recuse him exists. And a lawyer that did not advise his client of this opportunity would be malpractice. Failure to so advise should result in the client firing the lawyer. And, I did not suggest, as you imply, that a lawyer should try to get a judge recused for CAUSE based on lifestyle. Those are your words, not mine. Please read my comment more carefully. And for your information, lawyers and their domestic relations clients exercised their right to recuse Judge Carlson on many many occasions for exactly the reasons I listed after his orientation became public information. Like it or not, call it nonsense or whatever, your choice, but that is exactly what occurred regularly. Perhaps before your time and experience in legal community. Who knows how many more would have done the same if only they knew.
