At a time when the GOP is playing games with the debt limit, a member of the Supreme Court is refusing to recuse himself from matters he has a financial interest in, and middle class incomes are stagnant, many want to change the subject.

There is a well-established process by which a prosecutor can recuse themselves from a pending investigation and a special prosecutor be appointed.

Recuse is used when someone legally involved must not influence a case due to personal connections.

'Recuse' isn't only for judges. Lawyers, jurors, and others in legal proceedings can also recuse themselves.

Not Just Judges

Recusal is necessary to avoid conflicts of interest that can sway legal decisions.
