But isn't the more relevant comparison for Ginsburg's position Scalia's recusal from the pledge case after his speech, rather than the duck hunting trip? The latter called for recusal on the basis of the perception of a financial favor being provided for a vote; it had nothing to do with Scalia's jurisprudential bias (or leanings) in the case.

Maybe I missed something. I hadn't seen this cast as "your vote for free ducks", but as "don't be off partying with your buds when you're deciding their cases", which is more like the bias thing than the buyoff thing.
