You're right. JREF is the place for the latest info.
John Mercer Walker, Jr. (born December 26, 1940) is a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and a cousin of U.S. Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.

It is a travesty of justice that he was even picked to be a judge.
It is a further travesty he did recuse himself from a case involving his cousin.
The travesty is the misinterpretations of the facts.
The defendants were
Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Myers and John Does.
The Judge's cousin was George H.W. Bush. There is no case involving the 41st President.
As far as recusals go
--------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.fjc.gov/public/pdf.nsf/lookup/recusal.pdf/$file/recusal.pdf
(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate of the United States shall
disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality
might reasonably be questioned............
(b) He shall also disqualify himself in the following circumstances:
(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a
party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning
the proceeding;...............
(5) He or his spouse, or a person within the third degree of
relationship to either of them, or the spouse of such a person:..................
----------------------------------------------------
*A third degree relationship is a first cousin. The judge is not a first cousin of anyone involved in the case.
While there may be some argument for a trail judge recusal in such a case, The Appellate Court is passing judgement on the decision and WRT the law, not the facts of the case.
