Conflict of interest on the SUPREME COURT???

Wealthy group gives big money to groups working one side of political issues.

And the man behind much of it -- a billionaire political organizer -- is close friends with two Justices on the Court.

"A leading liberal group is now trying to use that connection to argue that Mr. Scalia and Mr. Thomas should disqualify themselves from hearing campaign finance cases because they may be biased toward Mr. Koch, a billionaire who has been a major player in financing conservative causes."

They're claiming a conflict of interest, largely based on the troubling ruling in the Citizens United case that benefitted people like the billionaire especially.
