Bad stuff.

I engage in the kind of legal hair-splitting described in the article every day of the week, often successfully and sometimes not.

Stock in trade, no big deal. It's what I get paid to do. The other side gets paid to stop me, and truth arises out of the crucible and the grinding of wheels and mills.

But having the law firm which represents GS and in which the Judge's husband is a partner appear before the Judge (even if GS is not a party) is a different matter altogether as GS's interests are obviously at stake. After all, the whistleblower's claim is that GS got away with much bad stuff.

It took some serious squirming and pillow-talk for the judge not to recuse herself, even if not prompted to do so by the parties. After all, this is just another case. Why sully her reputation and that of the federal bench? Let some other non-conflicted judge handle it.

Stupid.
