"In the best traditions of judicial ethics, he is trying to be ultra-honest by not being involved in a case where his objectivety is even questioned."


LOL! If that was the case, he'd recuse himself from the Cheney trial concerning Cheney's refusal of the release of records relating to his task force on energy policy. Since he's a personal friend of Cheney, I don't see how Scalia can attempt to maintain objectivity in that case with a straight face.

[Mr. Silverback]

First, the idea that he can't be objective because of a ride to a hunting trip involving 30 people is ludicrous.

Second, since Ruth Bader Ginsburg was involved with the ACLU since the Sixties and was the first director of the ACLU's Women's Rights Project, you think she should be recused from all ACLU and women's rights cases, right? If so, that makes two of us, because the media et al only seem to care about a hunting trip, not a decades long association leading to a paid advocacy position. When Ginsburg starts recusing herself, I'll think about caring about Scalia.
