We must have an immediate Scalia autopsy

At least a thorough examination of his body by a competent medical examiner conducted IN PERSON and not over the phone. Otherwise, for the next twenty years there will be legitimate questions concerning the circumstances of his death.

I’ve read at least three articles that said the Judge’s family did not want an autopsy. Leave well enough alone.

A recent doctor's report would be helpful at this point

But you can be assured, THAT angle was already covered IF this is foul play

I understand the family did not want an autopsy.

Who gets to decide?

There is simply NO good reason to NOT do a thorough, complete, and comprehensive autopsy; and, that the results should be made public immediately.

Further, the autopsy should include a team of forensic specialists, and should be trustworthy beyond question.

Your wish is granted. I just heard that a Texas judge has ordered one.

I doubt it, I saw a news clip early this morning of his casket arriving in Virginia.

I, too, have read that the family didn’t want an autopsy.

However, if someone got to a Scotus judge, then they could also have gotten to the family.

It probably should be a matter of public policy that autopsies are performed on high ranking members of the government, family or not.

It seems to me that until this is settled, this is a substantive reason to oppose any appointment of anyone.

Although I am very curious as to the possiblity of foul play, I’d have to say that the family has the right to decline it, and if that is what they want, I’m ok with their decision.

Can they do it after embalment? What about the family’s wishes?

I’m no conspiracy nut, but Michael Savage is raising some interesting questions on today’s program ... questions which, without a formal autopsy, will provide conspiracy fodder for some time.

There is no such thing as a “recess” “appointment” of a Supreme Court justice. The Justices are NOT “appointed”, they are first nominated, requiring the approval of the Senate, and NOT a simple majority. Per our Constitution.

If it’s to be followed as....sworn.

If... anyone will follow the law.

If... any in Congress or Executive understands the People’s great revolt that would occur if this proviso of our Constitution was to be ignored- because the media whores say it should.

Dunno what the rules on jurisdiction would be in this case, Virginia or Texas, then.

Can lethal drugs, etc, be found after embalming?

The body was flown to VA. FWIW. Accompanied by US Marshals.

We? Unless the author is Justice Scalia’s next of kin or executor, it’s none of his business.

If you smothered someone with a pillow and wanted to make it look like natural causes, would you leave the pillow on his face?

"However, if someone got to a Scotus judge, then they could also have gotten to the family."

Exactly

Especially in today's more sophisticated black ops

This will go in the file drawer with JFK's death

Didn’t they embalm him within hours of his death? How can they get a good result from an autopsy? Hope they retained blood samples at least.
