Only two should recuse themselves if that happens soon... Ruth Bader-Ginsberg and Sonia Sotomyer.

Hehe, just kidding.
Please explain what you disagree with. The last sentence? If so, what would be the reason for recusing oneself?

I disagree that practicing anythings can't be impartial. If that were true, we'd have no judges since the majority of the population of this country practices a religion...and that includes judges.
Actually, I think you need to read what I said again or maybe I should just rewrite it and attempt to be more clear.
I did not say they could not be impartial.
I said one recuses himself to avoid the appearance of partiality.
One may very well be impartial, but if there is a potential of a conflict of interests, then every ruling, in this case for the mother, will appear to be based on the conflict of interest even
IF the judge is absolutely correct in his ruling.
