Scalia: refuses to recuse himself after duck hunting with Cheney

washingtonpost.com

Lazarus, haven't you gone to be yet? Children should not be awake after dark, it disrupts their sleep patterns LOL.

"...Despite pressure from congressional Democrats, newspaper editorials and professors of legal ethics, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said again that he will not recuse himself from a case involving his duck-hunting partner on a recent vacation: Vice President Cheney....

Three weeks before the trip, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case titled in re: Richard Cheney, in which two groups have sued the vice president to force the release of records relating to his task force on energy policy. The Sierra Club and Judicial Watch suspect that Cheney, former chief executive of the oil services giant Halliburton Corp., was unduly influenced by his former friends and colleagues in the energy business -- including Kenneth Lay, then head of the scandal-wracked Enron Corp...."

That's judicial ethics for you, right-wing extremist style. You'd think even a whiff of ethical questioning would make him step away. Cheney has no ethics either, no wonder they're buds.
