After all the negative comments RGB made during the election about Trump can she objectively hear this case?
Days later, in a CNN interview, she said of candidate Trump, “He is a faker. He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns?”
Personally, I don't how she can be objective after such statements. Even an appearance of bias should disqualify a judge. This is much more than an appearance.

Antonin Scalia went duck hunting with a case before the court, and didn't recuse himself. Clarence Thomas's wife made a living from an organization with a case before the court, and didn't recuse himself.
Personal and financial relationships are the usual reasons for recusal, but republicans have drawn the line that it's acceptable.
