Let’s review: Scalia is one of the Justices who gave his ‘long-time friend’ Dick Cheney the Vice-Presidency (Scalia’s wife and son were involved in the Bush\/Cheney campaign and transition team). A month later, Cheney meets in secret with energy corporations (excluding others) — including the notoriously corrupt Enron. After 3 years, Scalia is one to agree to hear about the propriety of that secret meeting. Then he camps with Cheney for days on a trip sponsored by an oil company. Finally, he can’t imagine anyone questioning his impartiality. Scalia is unworthy of the Supreme Court and should be impeached!<\/b> These guys are beyond belief. mjh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Vice President Dick Cheney and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spent part of last week duck hunting together at a private camp<\/b> in southern Louisiana, just three weeks after the court agreed to take up the vice president’s appeal in lawsuits over his handling of the administration’s energy task force, the Los Angeles Times says in its Saturday editions. <\/p>\n

While Scalia and Cheney are avid hunters and longtime friends<\/b>, several experts in legal ethics questioned the timing of their trip and said it raised doubts about Scalia’s ability to judge the case impartially, the newspaper pointed out. <\/p>\n

But Scalia rejected that concern Friday, telling the Times, “I do not think my impartiality could reasonably<\/i> be questioned.”<\/b> <\/p>\n

Federal law says “any justice or judge shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might be questioned,” the Times notes. …<\/p>\n

The Times notes that pair arrived Jan. 5 on Gulfstream jets and were guests of Wallace Carline, the owner of Diamond Services Corp., an oil services company<\/b> in Amelia, La. …<\/p>\n

“The duck hunting was lousy …,” the justice said in his written response to the [Los Angeles] Times. “I did come back with a few ducks, which tasted swell.”<\/p>\n
