I think the stronger argument for her to recuse is she is currently hearing a civil case against Nick.
You generally assume that judges are professional enough, not to let their biases influence them.
I don’t really see her recuse herself, nor why she should.
It’s not a terribly complex case. It’s run of the mill drug possession.
The bar for judicial misconduct in these kinds of cases is: “Would a reasonable judge do this” and we haven’t seen any reason to doubt this yet. And I doubt we will.
