Title: Fat Tony is at it again

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Antonin Scalia dismissed the idea that Guantanamo detainees have constitutional rights and called European concerns over the issue hypocritical, Newsweek magazine reported on Sunday.

What's particularly troubling is that SCOTUS is set to hear a related case very shortly, and it doesn't sound like Scalia will recuse himself (although he should, because he's already tipped his hand.)  Roberts has recused himself because he was sitting on the appellate court at the time.

Does anyone know of a good source which documents when SCOTUSes have recused themselves?  I'd be interested to see Scalia's record versus others.
