Opinion: Duck-blind justice (388 words)
In defending the trip, Scalia likened it to a Washington social encounter.
Whether such dinners in the White House are judicially prudent is a far different matter than whether Scalia ought to hike through the Louisiana woods, shotgun in hand, with a hunting buddy whose conduct is the very substance of a case the court had just agreed to hear on appeal.
The federal code of judicial conduct requires that any justice "shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned." That provision, in fact, compelled Scalia to remove himself in October from a case involving the constitutionality of the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
