Key Relationships
Dick Cheney
friend
Dick Cheney and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia were close personal friends who regularly went on duck hunting trips together. Their friendship became a public controversy when Scalia refused to recuse himself from the Cheney v. United States District Court case (2004) involving the Energy Task Force, despite having gone on a duck hunting trip with Cheney just three weeks after the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. Scalia wrote a 21-page memorandum defending his decision not to recuse, and the Court ultimately ruled 7-2 in Cheney favor.
