Cut on the bias is reporting on an odd case where a district court judge who failed to reveal his ties to a defendant, and granted summary judgment against the plaintiff, was recused by the Court of Appeals. The case was a discrimination case. The plaintiff was white and the trial court judge as African-american. The trial court judge "naturally" wrote a decision accusing the Court of Appeals of racism. Beyond the way that the charge of racism was raised to deflect criticism of the trial court judge, there is the serious issue of personal bias on the part of a judge which deserves appropriate attention.
