Duck-blinded ethics - San diego Union Tribune

[question everything]

Whether in a rural county courthouse or the highest court in the land, judges must scrupulously maintain their impartiality. Socializing with a major litigant involved in a pending trial or, worse, accepting something of value from that litigant is not acceptable for any judge.

That includes Supreme Court justices. Antonin Scalia went on a duck hunting trip to a Louisiana bayou camp with Vice President Dick Cheney early last month, a few weeks after the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case this spring on whether Cheney must reveal who served on his energy task force.

Scalia needs to recuse himself from the case.

3. I agree with you on the hunting, but Scalia cannot recuse himself

because then Cheney might lose. It was stupid on both of their parts, but they are so arrogant that those two simply do NOT care what anyone thinks.
