Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Supreme Court judges and clerk had to recuse themselves.
Decisão extraída
No objective appearance of bias was shown; prior participation in related proceedings and criticism of earlier reasoning did not establish a valid recusal ground.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Arts. 34 and 36 LTF, recusal requires objectively credible facts showing an appearance of partiality. Prior involvement in other cases is not, by itself, a recusal ground, and the applicant's allegations were either unrelated or merely challenged the court's earlier legal assessment.
