AP Wire | 01\/31\/2004 | Democrats Press Scalia on Cheney Case<\/a><\/p>\n

Democrats are increasing their pressure on Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia<\/b> to step aside from considering a case involving his friend<\/i>, Vice President Dick Cheney<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court agreed last month to take up Cheney’s appeal in a case that involves his refusal to disclose the identities of members of his energy task force. Three weeks later, Scalia and Cheney went duck hunting together<\/b> in the marshes of southern Louisiana.<\/p>\n

Scalia maintains there was nothing improper about the trip … “I do not think my impartiality could reasonably<\/i> be questioned.”<\/b> … <\/p>\n

In addition to the duck hunting trip this month, Scalia had dinner with Cheney in November<\/b> after Bush administration lawyers had asked the court to consider his case. …<\/p>\n

Robert Destro, a law professor at Catholic University of America, who specializes in legal ethics … predicted that Scalia will stick with his decision to hear the case, and not respond to what Destro called “a bunch of hooey.”<\/b><\/p>\n

The case probably will be argued in April, although a date has not been scheduled.<\/p>\n
