Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal judges and court clerk requested to be recused had to be disqualified.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The recusal request was unnecessary; their participation was not foreseen for organizational reasons, and prior participation in another Federal Supreme Court case is not by itself a ground for recusal.
Extrahierte Begründung
No concrete appearance of bias was shown; previous involvement in an earlier federal case does not suffice under Art. 34(2) BGG.
