@metaphysical.af: There’s a rumor going around that the judge in the Blake Lively case needs to step down because he owns shares in Lionsgate. Let’s talk about why that’s not legally true. 📚 “Owning stock ≠ Conflict of interest” 👉 Judges don’t have to recuse themselves just because they own stock in a company… unless that company is a party in the case. Lionsgate isn’t even part of this lawsuit, Lively and Baldoni are. 👨‍⚖️ The Law The legal standard is clear: 28 U.S.C. § 455 says a judge must step aside only if their impartiality would reasonably be questioned, not based on speculation or connections to Hollywood through a sibling or past clients. 💼The Facts 📉 Past work for big studios? Not a conflict. 👨‍👦 A brother who’s a director? Still not a conflict. 💸 Owning a few shares in big public companies like Apple or Lionsgate? Not even close. 📌 The Reality This motion is more conspiracy than courtroom. Courts don’t remove judges just because people don’t like who they’re connected to — there has to be a direct, financial or legal reason. This filing doesn’t have that. 📣 Not Legal Advice Just Understanding the Legal System Follow me if you want the legal truth without the celebrity spin. #judgeliman #dogpool
