The judge who didn't want Willis removed from the case said

"It is not our job to second guess trial judges or to substitute our judgement for theirs,” Land wrote in his dissent.

“We should resist the temptation to interfere with that discretion, including its chosen remedy, just because we happen to see things differently,” he continued. “Doing otherwise violates well-established precedent, threatens the discretion given to trial courts, and blurs the distinction between our respective courts"


Um, yes it is your job. You are an appellate court.

Neither is it a temptation to interfere, it is literally a responsibility you have accepted.

It's not a violation of precedent, to overturn a ruming, it's called law and order. It is part of due process.

How do these people become judges?
