Supreme Court Justice Scalia Turns Advocate Against Obama as Queries Criticized: “It’s disturbing to see a justice use oral argument as a platform for expressing the talking points that you hear each night on Fox News,” by EthicalReasoningin politics

Wouldn't really matter. He'd just get a heart transplant just as his old duck hunting friend Cheney did;

January 17, 2004 WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spent part of last week duck hunting together at a private camp in southern Louisiana just three weeks after the court agreed to take up the vice president's appeal in lawsuits over his handling of the administration's energy task force.

While Scalia and Cheney are avid hunters and longtime friends, several experts in legal ethics questioned the timing of their trip and said it raised doubts about Scalia's ability to judge the case impartially.

But Scalia rejected that concern Friday, saying, "I do not think my impartiality could reasonably be questioned." http://articles.latimes.com/2004/jan/17/nation/na-ducks17
