    For anyone confused by this headline, there are two trials this judge is considering for X

    [O’Conner] was overseeing two lawsuits filed by X and recused himself from only one of the cases.

    This isn’t the new case about the “illegal boycott” O’Conner has recused himself from that trial (likely) because he also owns stock in Unilever, one of the defending companies

      Oh, so if a judge has a vested interest in more than 1 party, then they should recuse themselves from the case.
      Good to know where the line is
