You've Admitted What You Are, Fat Tony, Now You're Just Haggling Over The Price

"The question, simply put, is whether someone who thought I could decide this case impartially despite my friendship with the vice president would reasonably believe that I cannot decide it impartially because I went hunting with that friend and accepted an invitation to fly there with him on a government plane. If it is reasonable to think that a Supreme Court justice can be bought so cheap, the nation is in deeper trouble than I had imagined." -- Scalia v. United States, Fat Tony Scalia (R - U.S.S.C.), dissembling.

Update (3/20): Corrected, see comments.
