Following ethical rules is for Democrats and normal people. Republicans are special, so ethical rules don't apply to them.

Nice paywall, dumbass!

No wall on my end. Here is part of it...

The issue stems from three lawsuits challenging the state House and Senate redistricting maps that Gov. DeWine and other Republicans on the Ohio Redistricting Commission approved last month.
The suits, filed by the ACLU of Ohio and other voting rights groups, argue that Republicans violated the state constitution by drawing maps likely to award the GOP a disproportionately large share of legislative districts.
The Ohio Judicial Code of Conduct requires state judges to recuse themselves from hearing cases involving close family members, but that law does not apply Ohio Supreme Court justices.

One of the first things you are asked by a judge if you are called for jury duty is whether or not you are related to either party. Seems that is only for the little people, not the judge.

This is something you would expect from a third world country if he actually rules on this.

Still better than any Dem judge. Dems don't have to recuse themselves for being morons when it comes to laws and the Constitution then why should he have to?
