The factual basis for our position is detailed below. Disqualification under this provision does not require evidence of any actual bias. Rather, as the language of the statute indicates, for the benefit of the integrity of the judicial process in the public eye, a judge must recuse herself if an objective observer could reasonably question her impartiality.
