It’s actually a very positive article about him, Ben.

i was shocked.

and am beginning to understand the utterly devastating impact this could have on our republic.

the media will hammer day and night at republicans for blocking democracy and the weak legged part of the republican party will believe it.

i dont know how this affects the election an our country’s future.

If bernie or hillary wins, the point will be moot.

And for the first time in a long time, Ben Franklin’s famous line about hanging together or hanging separate will come into play.

The impact of Scalia's loss will be minimal -- if only because the U.S. Supreme Court already surrendered its integrity and moral legitimacy decades ago.

When you look at the U.S. Supreme Court and you see Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas on the same bench as Sonia Sotomayor and William Breyer, you realize you're looking at two pairs of people who don't even belong on the same planet -- let alone in the same position of legal authority.

Indeed.

You can expect the oboy to bring forth an absolute nightmare.

The GOP must filibuster for an entire year, damn the press.

I am devastated. Been mourning one of my few non-acquaintance heroes (the many others are Marines).

“Scalia’s death in a presidential year promises to be a nightmare for the republic.”

Tomorrow I hope to hear some reassurance from Levin.
