Why Occupy Nashville appeal didn’t occupy the attention of any Sixth Circuit judges: In response to this post from earlier today, a reader emails:

Your readers may be interested to know that the reason all of the CA6 judges recused was that one of the defendants was Bill Gibbons, the husband of Judge Julia Gibbons and Tennessee’s Commissioner of Public Safety. The plaintiffs were seeking damages against the Commissioner in his personal capacity. Presumably, all of the CA6 judges decided that they should not sit on a case in which their colleague had a personal financial stake through her husband.
