Federal Judges Disqualified from Hearing Income Tax Cases?

Some interesting points from the famguardian Web site:

http://famguardian.org/TaxFreedom/Fo...sQuestions.htm

* Federal Judges are paid by the income tax under Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code
* Conflicts of interest of federal judges are prohibited by both 28 U.S.C. §455 and 28 U.S.C. §144.
* Personal financial conflicts of interest of federal employees are also prohibited by 18 U.S.C. §208(a).
* Any federal judge who is either paid by internal revenbue taxes or who is beholden to IRS extortion is subject to such personal financial conflict of interest.
* The only kind of judge who would properly rule on a matter concerning the income tax without having a blatant conflict of interest is a judge whose salary does not come from Congress or who is a volunteer, because 41% of federal revenues now come from income taxes according to the Treasury Financial Management Service.

Is it possible to get a federal judge recused from a tax case on these grounds?
