SCOTUSblog A constitutional duty to recuse?

SCOTUSblog A constitutional duty to recuse?: "The new question of recusal of elected judges is raised explicitly in a newly filed case from Illinois, involving a justice of that state’s Supreme Court, and a ruling in which he cast one of the deciding votes that scuttled a huge verdict against a private insurance company — a company closely linked to major campaign donations to that justice. The case is Avery, et al., v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. (Filed on Tuesday, it does not yet have an assigned docket number. It probably arrived too late to be decided this Term, if granted.)"
