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."

I would start with a web search, and look at his decisions. I did a cursory search and at first glance he looks pretty solid.
I don’t have access to Lexis-Nexis, but I am pretty sure that, especially after the Roberts experience, Freepers will give any nominee a virtual rectal exam of every public scrap of information about them.
Only God can see into a person’s heart and soul. The rest of us have to make a best guess based on what we see, read, and hear.
Just reported that Obama is going to nominate someone pronto.
This is very sad news, indeed. :^(
Take your garbage to the back alley.
I just thought of something. If the SC has to decide whether or not Cruz is a NBC they’ll vSC has to decide whether or not Cruz is a NBC they’ll vote 4 to 4. hee hee
Seriously, do you really think your comment is appropriate?
yup
Good!
"I posted a thread on that story."

Would take a moment please to post to me here in this thread the url for that thread you're talking about here and posted yesterday.? Post to me, please so I can find it easily. Thank you / apple
CNN Jake Tapper just reported the White House announced Obama will appoint a new Supreme Court Justice.
THANK YOU LORD!!!
Republicans already opposing any Obama Supreme Court nomination
“The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky said in a statement.
As a long time supporter & admirer od Scalia, your personal attacks are more than a bit disgusting.
Get a grasp on reality and toughen up, Francis - don’t be a Canuck wussy.
Now take your hate somewhere else.
Is that speculation or has it come from the White House?
are you going to post that as it’s own thread?
Yes, but the Supreme Court ruled that to be Unconstitutional: Noel Canning v. NLRB (2014).
Just on FOX.
I predict a black person.
Very sad news.
President Eisenhower once called his nominations of Justice Brennan and Chief Justice Earl Warren his two *biggest mistakes*.
**...Freepers will give any nominee a virtual rectal exam ...** ...as only they can.
Does the average voter, even think about who a president will nominate for SCOTUS? I doubt it.
It’s going to be jobs, the economy, and national safety.
That was all it took for Boehner and McConnell to fold. How long will McConnell hold out? One week? Two weeks?

Because you believe the leftist drivel. Trump has great respect for his very smart sister.
Did you know that his sister tesitified on Alito’s behalf, at his confirmation hearings?
I suppose you’re giddy with the prospect of CRuz nominating more Justices like Roberts....who he introduced to his GOOD friend, W Bush.
Roberts gave us 0Care, don’t forget!
Trump has said that he would appoint SCOTUS’s similar to his fave SCOTUS, Clarence Thomas.
So, just stop with your nonsense. You’ve become laughable, now.
