Senior U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia found dead at West Texas ranch

Associate Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead of apparent natural causes Saturday on a luxury resort in West Texas, federal officials said.

Scalia, 79, was a guest at the Cibolo Creek Ranch, a resort in the Big Bend region south of Marfa. According to a report, Scalia arrived at the ranch on Friday and attended a private party with about 40 people. When he did not appear for breakfast, a person associated with the ranch went to his room and found a body.

U.S. District Judge Fred Biery said he was among those notified about Scalia's death.

"I was told it was this morning," Biery said of Scalia's death. "It happened on a ranch out near Marfa. As far as the details, I think it's pretty vague right now as to how," he said. "My reaction is it's really unfortunate with any death. And now, politically, in the presidential cycle we're in my educated guess is nothing will happen before the next president is elected."

It stays unseated until Obama is out of office. Is is what the Senate does if they are smart.

Dream on.

McCain and McConnell will be falling over each other to confirm The Won’s nomination, no matter how psychotic she is.

Dummieland is split between trying to pretend they’re decent to outright urinations of happiness at this news.

RIP.

Personal opinion: The GOPe will back whoever Obama puts up rather than hold off until President Trump (or Cruz) is sworn in.
