Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.

The America-hating Kenyan SOB is about to change it back.
0bama didn’t waste any time after the SCOTUS pissed on his climate change agenda.
"Appointed to the office of Solicitor General of Texas by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, Cruz served in that position from 2003 to 2008. The office had been established in 1999 to handle appeals involving the state, but Abbott hired Cruz with the idea that Cruz would take a "leadership role in the United States in articulating a vision of strict construction." As Solicitor General, Cruz argued before the Supreme Court nine times, winning five cases and losing four......." Source
maybe Trump will nominate Cruz.. maybe
RIP.
I don’t know what could get worse in terms of abortion, affirmative action, ObamaCare, etc.; the Supreme Court hasn’t defended much as far as I can see. We needed more Scalias...
And if we all don't stop the childish bs around here it's going to be Bernie or hilda....let that sink in for a minute.
RIP, Justice Scalia....ya done good sir.
So did Roberts Porky...
This is incredibly consequential considering the 5-4 make-up of the court, and considering that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been widely rumored to be considering leaving the court.
If Obama is able to replace Scalia and Ginsburg the Supreme Court could shift to 3-6 in favor of liberal ideological worldview prior to the end of President Obama’s term in office.

Scalia’s unexpected passing sets up a politically charged battle to replace him. Mere moments after his death was confirmed, Conn Carroll, a key staffer for Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), promised Republicans would block anyone that Obama nominated.
And may God help us to have a wise President to name his replacement.
Reading Cruz’s statement, I can hear his piercing, nasal voice, declaiming. Just as he talks like an orator, not a human, he writes like an orator, not a human.
Amen
Justice Scalia was a great American!
Cruz is a worthless Canadian. He has no chance in the general and would ensure a Hillary victory. Quit trying to campaign on Justice Scalia. Sick!
No argument here. Nice sentiments from Cruz.
All the Pubs in the Senate have to do is say we will wait till the new POTUS takes office. Then it will be up to us to elect a POTUS who actually knows who to pick.
It's obvious Cruz is the man for the job.
One of the best Justices in my lifetime.
I feel this loss very personally. He was one of the greatest Americans of all time.
I hope Cruz doesn’t try to use this for his own aggrandizement. That would be despicable.
I hope had GOP, miserable though it may be, resists and denies any Obama appointee.
I think the best people for nominating good ones would be Cruz or Rubio. Of course, either one of them would also be good as a justice.
RIP Scalia. Decent people everywhere thank you for your service, and we thank you for not leaving your seat during Soetoro’s administration. It’s a shame you were slaughtered by the Leftists instead of being able to die peacefully in retirement, but you of all people know that making this country great demands sacrifice.
