A House judiciary subcommittee has scheduled a hearing for Thursday on the recusal of judges. Lawmakers have shown a renewed interest in the issue, with plans to examine the process that federal judges use to decide recusal motions. The hearing will mark the first time Congress has addressed recusals in a significant way since 2004, when Democrats criticized Justice Antonin Scalia for declining to recuse in a case involving Vice President Dick Cheney.

A House judiciary subcommittee has scheduled a hearing for Dec. 10 on the recusal of judges.
The National Law Journal reported last month on lawmakers’ renewed interest in the issue, including plans to examine the process that federal judges use to decide recusal motions. Judges now have wide discretion to decide on their own whether to step away from a case, though their decisions are appealable.
