 Opinion: Duck-blind justice
In defending the trip, Scalia likened it to a Washington social encounter.
Whether such dinners in the White House are judicially prudent is a far different matter than whether Scalia ought to hike through the Louisiana woods, shotgun in hand, with a hunting buddy whose conduct is the very substance of a case the court had just agreed to hear on appeal.
The federal code of judicial conduct requires that any justice "shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned." That provision, in fact, compelled Scalia to remove himself in October from a case involving the constitutionality of the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

 Blind Justice | PopMatters Television Review
The term doesn't reflect "negatively" on blind people, but it does refer to an ideal of justice as "objective." The point is that the metaphor is delimiting and overdetermines the material reality of blindness and/or extreme visual disability.
Even if some idealized jurisprudence is "blind" (which it manifestly isn't, at least not "color-blind"), criminal justice most definitely isn't, as the major thrust of the show is how the detectives of New York's 8th Precinct "overcome" their prejudices against physical disability.
This is doubly vexed in moments when Blind Justice tries to represent the ways in which hearing transforms into an understanding of spatial relations for the blind.
