“It did not involve a lawsuit against Dick Cheney as a private individual,” Scalia said in response to a question from the audience of about 600 people. “This was a government issue. It’s acceptable practice to socialize with executive branch officials when there are not personal claims against them. That’s all I’m going to say for now. Quack, quack.”

Gee, I wonder which way Scalia will come down on this issue?

He added, “…On top of that, Cheney explained the whole thing to me. He didn’t do nothin’ wrong. But hey, I’m just the fuckin’ judge. What do you think of them apples?”
