Prayers for his family and for America …
EL PASO — An El Paso source close to Justice Antonin Scalia tells ABC-7 that the 79-year-old died in his sleep last night after a day of quail hunting at Cibolo Creek Ranch outside of Marfa, Texas.
The Justice did not report feeling ill and retired to his room after dinner. The source, who was traveling with Scalia, told ABC-7 an El Paso priest has been called to Marfa.
Scalia was the longest-serving current Justice on the Supreme Court. He was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.
Just, damn. Constitutional Originalism dies with him.
RIP, Justice Scalia, and this little Republic.
I’m’a ‘celebrate’ by buying more guns & ammo. If Barks succeeds in ramming his appointment past squish McConnell, the investment will be hugely meaningful.
May angels guide him to his rest. His like will not come again.
[…] RIP, and yes this is an absolute game changer… We now depend on the U.S. Senate majority standing firm against the President Ted Cruz for SCOTUS? Will Trump do it? While we give condolences to his family and prayers for his passing, we cannot avoid the obvious: This whole election just ticked up a several notches in seriousness, didn’t it? I do not care what happens other than Barack Obama does not pick Scalia’s successor. If we lost the general election and Hillary or Bernie end up being president, well so be it. But I want the GOP Senate majority to hold firm and any senator that deviates from that is dead to me.

he was murdered
this is why he’s dead
cause of how someone did murder on him
people should be smashing shit (owned by the state)
If Obama could appoint someone reasonable, this could handled quickly and we could move on. However, Obama will make it as political as possible I am afraid.
You wouldn’t consider anyone to the left of John Ashcroft to be “reasonable”.
What’s “left” got to do with it, asshat? Maybe you should acquaint yourself with Scalia’s actual jurisprudence.
The cockroaches keep coming back.
This Sri Srinivasan that I keep hearing is on a short list seems to be level headed and fills the Ds love of “firsts” unless your name is Jindal or Haley.
Sooner or later the court is going to get another liberal. I would be happy if it was not another Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
Obama’s last two appointments were fellow traveler cheerleaders with vagendas. There’s no way he can have another one.

Oh I see our Leftist troll has decided to attempt to pee on the thread,
but can barely manage to have it run down his own leg.
GODSPEED, Antonin.
serr8d, I have modified my position based on same, two rubber stampers are enough.
Godspeed, AS.
