Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Dems Question Cheney-Scalia Hunting Trip

HeadlineJan 23, 2004

Democratic Senators Patrick Leahy and Joseph Lieberman have written to Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist to question the appropriateness of Justice Antonin Scalia spending several days recently with Vice President Dick Cheney duck hunting. Their trip comes at a time that the court is deciding whether to force Cheney to open up records from his energy task force. The Senators asked Rehnquist to send them information on the court’s rules about justices recusing themselves from cases where “their impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”
