Scalia to Decline Future Duck Hunting Invitations from Cheney
"I've rethought the ethics of it," Jurist Says
WASHINGTON -- Justice Antonin Scalia announced today that he will decline future opportunities to go duck hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney.
The conservative jurist was heavily criticized two years ago for taking a duck-hunting trip with Cheney while the Vice President was a party to a case pending before the Supreme Court.
"I've rethought the ethics of it," Justice Scalia said in a prepared statement. "In order to avoid the appearance of impropriety, I've concluded that it would be best not to go hunting with a sitting vice president."

Actually, I think it speaks well of Cheney. But he should not be the only one to get to shoot the rich. I'm applying for my Department of Equalization Shoot the Rich Permit tomorrow. I hear that if I get lucky I'll be allowed to bag three multimillionaires
