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."

This is a very sad day for this country. Scalia was one of the great ones.

Hopefully they will "grow a pair" and delay things...

A delay is our only hope!!!!!!!!!!!

[milagro]

My feelings exactly!

[nutmeg]

Damn! Can we delay Obama’s appointment, whomever it may be? Will the GOP even stand up THAT much?!

I'm wondering the same thing. Anyone know?

Rest in Peace, dear Justice Scalia... one of my favorite Supreme Court justices.

[SueRae]

Absolutely

[Scutter]

We are so screwed.

Any guess who 0bama will appoint?

Any flaming commie he wants. It isn't as though anyone in the Senate will oppose him.

[jimbo123]

What about all the June decisions?

5-3 in favor of whatever Obama wants.

[Deo volente]

There had better be a thorough autopsy.

[DAC21]

Cruz being a pain in the Senates ass is needed more than ever now.

[builder]

The Senate will rubber stamp whomever Obama nominates.

[Ray76]

A great man lost. Rest in peace.

[BlueLancer]

That's what THEY want you to think ...

[mlizzy]

so trump can put another flaming liberal on the court. What makes you think he would appoint a conservative when he is not one himself?

Yes, I think I just saw his sister's eyes light up!

Trump's favorite justice is Thomas!

Don’t worry the GOP will hold strong on the confirmation...just like they did with AG Lynch.
