“Defendants do not bring this motion lightly. Taken as a whole and viewed objectively, the record clearly demonstrates that recusal is necessary,” the companies said in a court filing on Saturday.

Referendums are solutions in relation to the hopelessly entrenched.

The Judge will not recuse just because they asked!

In other words, these companies don’t have anything on the judge, which they can use to blackmail him

Since when did the prosecution gets to choose their judge? When they are rich, & loose! America has 2 justice systems, 1 for the rich, & 1 for the rest of US. The rich have been successful at separating We the People into We rich People, the rest. Welcome tp America The Serfdom

Desperate.

Afraid he won't give enough of a big award to Plaintiff- There outta this Business!
