Is immunizing a judge's private agreement to decide favorably to one party a way to preserve the judge's free(dom) to act upon his convictions?

The following excerpt is from Rankin v. Howard, 633 F.2d 844 (9th Cir. 1980):
Likewise, we have little difficulty concluding that immunizing a judge's private, prior agreement to decide favorably to one party is not the way to preserve the judge's "free(dom) to act upon his own convictions." See Bradley v. Fisher, 80 U.S. (13 Wall.) at 347, 20 L.Ed. 646.
