It would probably be up to the local authorities. There was a big controversy after the JFK assassination when the secret service forcefully took his body out of Texas to Washington DC for the autopsy.

Obama on now, giving condolences. He says he will nominate a successor “in due time” therefore not tonight, saying it’s time to think about his family and colleagues.

I’m also scared to pieces. I didn’t realize how scared I was until I heard the news this evening and started bawling my eyes out. I’m still weepy.

“I guess the up side is that recess appointments are for only 1 yr.”

That would be the best political move for the Dems. They don’t need more issues. eGOP doesn’t want to fight. Just let him make a recess appointment and let the next President select the replacement.

That’s not best for the country, but I don’t want to see the eGOP pansies approve a permanent pinko bench legislator.

But did he have a protective detail? If so, why did it take until morning to find him dead. Do Supreme Court justices have protective details? Can anyone answer this?

And what would you think the likelihood of that is?

Baldwin, isn’t it correct that for the Senate to confirm that 3/5 of the Senate is required. And if so, then Obama and the democrats won’t get a liberal on scotus.

Even while digesting the sad news of losing such a wonderful man, you guys have to add your filthy silly comments.

Here’s a thought. IF they are able to shove another wise latino down our throats, there goes your precious Cruz. They’ll vote that he’s ineligible. How’s that going to work out for you?

Best hope right now, Cruz and Rubio and Paul bind together, do their flippin jobs and filibuster any bs.

RIP Justice, you will be sorely missed. Sending prayers to his family in their time of need.

I have known Scalia for years. He loved red wine, Marlboros, and beef. A great guy. I loved him.

What? Using a man’s demise for points? What the he** is wrong with you people? Christians? Pft, you give Christians a bad name with stupid comments like yours.

RIP Judge
