An interesting essay which points out something nobody is reporting on – The Code of Conduct for United States Judges.
“Canon 2: A Judge Should Avoid Impropriety and the Appearance of Impropriety in All Activities.”

The article then gives the entire canon which indeed indicates that the judge should recuse himself from the case.
