Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia issued a 21-page memo Thursday saying he would not recuse himself in a case involving Vice President Cheney. Scalia had come under intense criticism after it was revealed he went duck hunting with Cheney at a time the court was deciding whether it should force Cheney to make public the minutes from his energy task force meetings. Scalia wrote “A rule that required Members of this Court to remove themselves from cases in which the official actions of friends were at issue would be utterly disabling.”
