NY Slimes Editorial Slimes Scalia
The New York Slimes continues with ABC's character assassination attempt on Justice Scalia:
Justice Antonin Scalia certainly has poor judgment when it comes to vacations.My Comments:
Justice Scalia was apparently unchastened by the criticism of his 2004 duck-hunting excursion with Vice President Dick Cheney, one of that term's most prominent Supreme Court litigants. Last September, he skipped the swearing-in of Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. because of another ethically dubious trip, this time to the posh Ritz-Carlton at the Beaver Creek ski resort in Colorado.
He was there to teach a 10-hour seminar over a couple of days for a conservative group, the Federalist Society. "Nightline" recently reported that the gig had left Justice Scalia plenty of time for tennis, fly-fishing and socializing with seminar participants, some of whom may have business before the Supreme Court. One Federalist Society cocktail reception was sponsored in part by the lobbying and law firm that used to employ Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay's convicted pal and benefactor for golf trips.
Is there a more unethical major newspaper in America than The New York Slimes?

So, let's see ...
If it's bad for Justice Scalia to be at an American ski resort when Chief Justice Roberts is being sworn in, then I know we'll see a story in tomorrow's Times lambasting Sen. Kerry for being at a Swiss ski resort while the Senate is voting on the Alito nomination.
Won't we?
As a side note, Scalia wasn't paid for the trip, so I don't know how it is "ethically dubious".
And no one would have cared about Kerry if he hadn't been calling for a filibuster on foreign soil.
