Justice Scalia has released this memorandum responding to the petition from the Sierra Club asking him to recuse himself from Dick Cheney’s upcoming “Secret Energy Task Force” case. It’s interesting reading- he insists his close friendship with Dick Cheney will not interfere with ruling in favor of Dick Cheney.

Another money quote: “If it is reasonable to think that a Supreme Court justice can be bought so cheap, the nation is in deeper trouble than I had imagined.”

All I can say in response to that is, “Bush v. Gore.” You’re the ones who made it reasonable to think the Supreme Court of the United States had been corrupted by politics. Shame on you, Mr. Scalia. Taking hunting trips with your co-conspirator is just rubbing the American People’s noses in it.
