    Seems pretty obvious to me that presiding over a case that involves the person that gave a judge their job shouldn’t be allowed in the first place…

      Hmmm, what about the opposite - a judge chosen by the opposition?

      Like, what if it was Biden on trial for some reason and it was a judge chosen by Trump. Would you have the same concern?

      I agree it sucks and she clearly sucks, but I’m not sure a simple rule like your saying would definitely make sense.
