Chief Justice bails on ethical questions surrounding Fat Tony's weekend with Dick
William Rehnquist on Monday rebuffed Sens. Lieberman and Leahy, who questioned Justice Antonin Scalia's impartiality in an appeal involving Scalia's friend and hunting partner, Dick 'Chicanery' Cheney.
The Louisiana trip earlier this month came shortly after the Supreme Court agreed to review a lower court's decision requiring the White House to identify members of the vice president's energy task force. Scalia also had dinner with Cheney in November, about two months after the administration asked the justices to overrule the lower court.
Rehnquist said any suggestion that Scalia should recuse himself "is ill considered."
