He's a US Supreme Court Justice and is at the centre of allegations that he's been accepting gifts from millionaires, from free flights (hence the "ticketed" part ) to luxury stays at various places. Not a good image from someone expected to be impartial. And he won't recuse himself from cases where he has a clear conflict of interest.

Llondel, a definitely "not correct" then to your suggestion.
If what you say is true, I trust he is removed from his post.
I will give it to Opsboi as he is on the right track.
Apparently murder can only be tried by, what are called, "ticketed" circuit Judges (they may now be called district judges?).
They are approved, the term ticketed is used, by the higher judiciary as such.
Reading further, it would seem that there is a hierarchy of judges and what cases they can try.
