"Unable to Duck the Issue"

An article on demands that Scalia recuse himself is here.

I think this controversy is silly. If Scalia and Cheney wanted to predetermine the result of this case, there are plenty of D.C. backrooms wherein they could have made this agreement. Besides, Scalia is a supporter of a strong executive. I doubt he would force the Vice President to make public the notes from the energy task force. For crying out loud, we are not talking about Watergate. Politicians meet with their cronies all the time. The Right has big business. The Left has Trial Lawyers, Inc. At least these interest groups care enough about their welfare that they lobby. So many Americans sit at home, doing nothing. Remember what Benjamin Franklin said, "This is a republic, if you can keep it."
