Only two ways that will happen. # 1 Obama doesn’t do it. # 2 The a point mentioned is made by a smart Constitutionalist President.

And yes, Scalia was a great man. He will be greatly missed and is greatly a appreciated.

Pray for America.

What a great man. I read he was married 55 years and has 9 children, and he must have a bunch of grandchildren too. But I didn't realize one of his children is a Roman Catholic priest. I'm guessing he will be conducting Mass for his father. What an honor if so; truly an honor. God love Justice Antonin Scalia. ♥

10. Heard a woman caller affiliated with the Washington Opera mention that the Justice was a big fan and supporter and had appeared more than a few times as a supernumenary on stage. That would be something like spear carrier number 4. What a wonderful thing for an opera lover.

RIP

4. Scalia was the first Italian American to serve on the Supreme Court...

DAMNED STRAIGHT. And he made us all proud. He showed we loved this country as much as anybody loved it.

Heaven help any dems or repubs that smear his name by trying to push some piece of trash into the SC before next year. They’re gonna need it.

Great justice. Tremendous wit. The only Supreme Court opinions that makes one laugh when read. Will be sorely missed.

I respected Scalia and have learned much from his works. He was not an ‘originalist’ per say, he was a ‘textualist’. The one area I disagreed with him is his stance on ‘stare decisis’ which he joking defined as ‘water over the damn’. He believed that if the court mad a bad decision, that once that decision was ingrained into the everyday lives of Americans, it should not be overturned.

Yes, he will be sorely missed & sadly, I can think of no one today that has the moral compass to stand firm on their convictions as he did.

God bless Justice Scalia and comfort his family. What a great man. He was a rock for our Republic. It is a dark day for our nation.

May God have mercy on us. It is almost impossible to expect the Republicans to go tell Obama to pound sand and leave the choice for next president.

Justice Scalia’s death should remind all of us that there are another at least two justices who are approaching 80 years of age. IS THERE ONE PERSON ON THIS WEBSITE WHO CAN ARGUE THAT THEY WOULD PREFER TO HAVE DONALD TRUMP RATHER THAN TED CRUZ FILLING OUR NEXT SUPREME COURT vacancies? Cruz has prepared 80 Supreme Court briefs and to the best of my knowledge argued at least 10 cases before the Court, including the critical Heller decision (where he was one of the lead attorneys). Trump has no understanding of the court and even suggested that he would appoint his nutty, left-wing federal judge sister (who is a pro-abort) to the court. WE CAN DO BETTER FOR OUR FUTURE THAN TRUMP APPOINTING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES. Trump has been an enemy of conservatives (Democrat, donor to Democrats, etc.) for most of his life. Now I’m supposed to believe he’s our friend. So, if by some miracle of hell itself, we get Trump as our president, who shows up — the Democrat Trump or the faux new Republican?

"The Constitution is not a living organism," Scalia said. "It's a legal document, and it says what it says and doesn't say what it doesn't say."

A lot of Freepers don't get the full importance of the bolded part.

RIP, Justice Scalia. You will be dearly missed.

I loved him

With his death we have lost the country.

It would be difficult to add anything to the posted article and great posts above. Except, may I add: I’ve admired Scalia all of my adult life. He is irreplaceable and he is a Great American. His passing is a tremendous loss for our County.

God Bless you fellow patriot!

That’s more than the Kenyan knows about him. The nimrod is clueless. Had to read off a handful of his accomplishments off a note card during his little speech earlier tonight.

10. There will be no autopsy. The regime can breathe easier.
