Judges aren't supposed to wait to ask to be recused, they are supposed to offer to recuse if they have a relationship that would make their presiding over the case improper. I can't think of a more clear cut situation for a judge to offer recusal than where their husband has been publicly expressing views on the case over which they preside for a national media outlet.
