We've been calling on the justices to recuse from these types of cases — given the large payouts and the obvious conflicts — for years.
It’s regrettable, though, that decisions as important as whether to recuse, affecting fundamental questions of accountability, currently rest on each individual justice’s private discretion.
This keeps happening, and there are several solutions (e.g., sell your stocks, update your recusal lists, publish the reasons behind your recusals, etc.) that will help make it stop.
