An array of individuals, businesses and interest groups have told the U.S. Supreme Court that West Virginia Justice Brent Benjamin created an appearance of impropriety by remaining on a case involving Massey Energy Co.
As The Associated Press reports, those filing "friend of the court" briefs in favor of the petitioners include "27 former justices from 19 state Supreme Courts... Retired state Justice Richard Neely is among them."

The Brennan Center for Justice has a great rundown on this case including several of the Amicus briefs filed on behalf of the petitioners.
By the way, the former solicitor general, Theodore B. Olson, is the counsel of record for the petitioners.
Not sure if links are allowed in comments, but I will try to add it.
