Key legal question
Whether the recusal request against Federal Judge Merkli and Clerk Feller was sufficiently substantiated.
Extracted holding
No; the applicant failed to make any credible showing of a disqualifying circumstance, so the recusal request was not admissible.
Extracted reasoning
Prior adverse outcome, mere participation in the earlier judgment, and irrelevant internet material or an unrelated ECtHR judgment do not establish a recusal ground.
