Our word for the day is "Recuse". It was used by Susan Reed, who asked recently arrested district judge, Ray Angelini, to recuse himself from all his cases pending the adjudication of his charge.
I find this fascinating. I have to assume she didn't know what recuse meant, because she refused to recuse herself or her office from the Ruben Cantu investigation in the face of a far more clear conflict of interest than what Angelini faces.
Of course, this time, the request won't be heard by a pro-prosecution hack of a judge, who is thankfully, no longer on the bench.
