Bribe-Taker Scalia took $100,000 "Speaker's Fee" for giving a talk at a Federalist Society affair with David Koch attending who gave that $100,000 while Koch's CITIZEN'S UNITED was being presented to the ACTIVIST SCOTUS.

January 25, 2011   Pushing for phony recusal “reform” has developed into an increasingly popular strategy for left-leaning groups trying to marginalize conservative judges.  Last week, the liberal activist group Common Cause asked the Justice Department to investigate whether U.S. Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas should have recused themselves from last year’s Citizens United case.  What’s the rationale?  Apparently because Justices Scalia and Thomas spoke at Federalist Society events hosted by Charles Koch, whose foundation is the bĂȘte noir of the professional Left.  ...  What skullduggery did Scalia and Thomas engage in at these events?  Well, Justice Thomas gave a speech about his moving memoir, My Grandfather’s Son, while Justice Scalia regaled the audience with his views on international law....

 ... Scalia was among them, attending a seminar last year of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group. The 76-year-old justice also jetted to seven countries, including Australia, Switzerland [Swiss Banks] and Ireland. ...
