FROM LATIMES
One Case Scalia Should Skip
The federal rules on how U.S. judges should behave are
straightforward and reasonable: "A judge should not allow
family, social or other relationships to influence judicial
conduct or judgment" or "permit others to convey the
impression that they are in a special position to influence the
judge." Antonin Scalia scoffs at the idea that his hunting trip
with friend Dick Cheney might bias the Supreme Court justice
when he hears the vice president's appeal to keep the details
of his 2001 energy task-force meetings secret. Scalia may be
able to separate friendship from his judicial duty to be fair
and impartial. But the appearance of impropriety is no less
important, and the duck shoot leaves a dreadful impression.

HEAR HEAR!!

on the contrary, I just plotted the table and the growth is fairly steady over that period.
