While I don't necessarily disagree overall with his position that recusal is not necessary, I find the part of his reasoning that if he recuses himself it could result in a tie odd. I mean, should that play into the analysis at all? Is it somehow better to have an interested judge on a panel to end a tie in favor of his friend than it would be to have the court unable to reach a decision due to a tie?
