Old Feb 4th, 2004, 09:30 AM        SCALIA EXCERCISES RIGHT TO BE CORRUPT
The Supreme court will soon hear a case about wether Dick Chenny has the right to refuse too release information on who in the energy industry helped him write the energy bill.

Justice Scalia recently went on a week long duck hunting trip with Dick Chenney. (What the hell is it with high powered republicans and killing birds?)

The trip was a freeby sponsored by Energy companies.

Justice Scalia will not recuse himself from the Chenney case because he says his impartiality cannot be reasonably questioned. Now, to me, if he'd said he didn't think he'd been influenced, I'd doubt it, but I could live with it. But his impartiality cannopt reasonably be questioned? What is he, the Pope?

Now, legally, he has the right to do this. Only Supreme court justices can determine wether they should recuse themselves from cases or not.

However, this stinks. Privilidge, money, exclusivitty, gifts from corporations... Shouldn't we expect more from the highest court in the land?
