Fair point, but I see it the other way. If Cheney and Scalia are good enough buds that they take hunting trips together, then the hunting trip alone shouldn't be the basis for recusal, the friendship should. If your friend comes before you on the bench, you shouldn't recuse yourself only in the days following your birthday or Christmas.
