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."

Alto is cut from the same cloth...a great Constitutional Conservative...
One they got right....
God help us and save us.
Guess what issue just moved to the top for tonight’s debate?
If Brennan’s Criminal Imp Associates did this you and I will never know it ... and I think that to be a high probability, that CIA did some wet work for their oligarchy masters.
Why can’t the Republicans delay until next year?
Looks like it is time to wrap up the fund raiser so we can all work on the Senators.
We need to let them know that their jobs are on the line! My Senators will not help us with this but Maybe we can start contacting Senators in adjoining states.
A list of opponents to some of the most blatant Rinos so we can support their opposition.
Hopefully a contingent of Cruz, Sessions, Lee, Paul, and Cotton can fillibuster fully in shifts
A great Justice.
Very sad.
Sorry...Alito....
If that’s true, it’s yet another suspicious death associated with Hillary and Bill.
Prayers for his family, he was a very good man.
Republicans are so concerned about public opinion that they should delay until new prez gets sworn in.
“can Obama” is trending on Twitter as is “Clarence Thomas”
Come Monday everybody better start calling their senators and getting really pizzy about it. I have two calls to make first thing.
No President is going to let this drag out a year. This is a big, big deal.
Everything I've read said that a recess appointment is not possible for SCOTUS. (not that this has stopped the Obama administration in the past...)
They better run the clock
The blackmail files on key Senators are being photo copied for distribution even as we type ...
Kamala Harris was in on the Kam Kuwata event. Also, DiFi’s ‘lost’ money after she let it slip to 0bama about Bin Laden, as a warning. Harris is a fixer.
Who else here thinks that their individual rights may have effectively died along with Scalia?
PING!
“I am VERY concerned that they’re so quick to say he died of natural causes.”
I just saw on tv that the U.S. Marshals is launching an investigation into his death. Sounds sinister.
