Cheney/Scalia Hunting Trip Say More About The Men Then About The Law

If a powerful litigant in a conflict-of-interest case (i.e. Vice President Cheney) engages a powerful judge about to hear that case (Justice Scalia) to go duck hunting, isn't that a conflict-of-interest? As the Justice points out, going hunting with Cheney doesn't violate the letter of the law. The problem is, when you're that arrogant, you think people don't see you a duck when--right out in the open-- you look, walk and quack like one.
