Supreme Court Justice Scalia Raises Questions about Recusal Decisions of Supreme Court Justices.
Two House members ask the US Supreme Court to look at recusal decisions.
Representative Henry Waxman, Ranking Minority Member, Committee on Government Reform, and Rep. John Conyers, Jr., Ranking Minority Member, Committee on the Judiciary, are requesting that the US Supreme Court develop a formal procedure for reviewing recusal decisions of Supreme Court justices.
The issue remains whether Justice Antonin Scalia is following a different standard than the lower courts in deciding recusal questions, as seemingly did happen when he heard the case against Mr. Dick Chaney, despite going on a social weekend with the Vice President. |
