Thanks for the disclosure

EJ Dionne weighed into the Scalia recusal morass this morning with a column called Why Scalia Should Duck Out. I disagree with him on the substance of the issue, but what is notable about this column is his remarkable candor:

Let me admit: My view is that Scalia should stay out of any case involving the political interests of this administration. Here, after all, is the man who played such a central role in putting Bush and Cheney into office through that abominable Bush v. Gore decision. How can the kingmaker be expected to offer a fair judgment on the king and his handpicked deputy?

This takes the rhetoric over the Court to a new level, and I'm not even sure how to respond. Frankly, it may not even need a response. Just reread it. There - wasn't that fun?
