I have a problem with this trip. It is not the trip itself but the fact that Justice Scalia didn't pay for it. An energy company that was involved in the energy company, plus Cheney on AF2 paid for it.

Can you source your info that an energy company paid for the trip? From what I know, Scalia was a guest of Cheney. No big deal, from my perspective.

It was a private reserve owned and operated by a Louisiana oil exec. It is assumed that both were comped for the trip. The details are still murky. Scalia got a free ride on AF 2 and a free hunting trip at a retreat owned by an oil exec though. That much is not in dispute.

It wasn't a very bright idea.
