Unfortunately, recusal motions are filed with the judge sought to be recused, and are reviewed by other judges using deferential review standards.

To put it bluntly, that sucks.

So what's new?
Nancy Grace of CNN/Court TV was known as 'Amazing Grace' when she was a prosecutor in Atlanta because she had a 100% conviction rate on murders.
How many innocent people are on death row because she is extremely talented and they had poor quality public defenders?

The attorney for Terri Schiavo's parents did a poor job. She didn't get Greer recused, she didn't get material accepted into evidence, she didn't argue the case well.

That's a shame, but that is the best legal system man has been able to put together.
It works most of the time for most people.
It is idealistic, but naive to expect more from a human system.

If you blow your one bite at the apple, you're doomed.
Time to say "sorry about that" and move on.
