Well fine if you wish, however, for me the death of the USA occurred more like in 1972 ... just been twitching ever since ...

I agree with you. The death of this republic happened a long time ago when abortion became legal back in 1973 with the Roe v Wade decision. Now it's just a matter of time and deterioration. We have a muslim in the white house and the two democratic contenders are a criminal and a communist. Of course they all deny who they really are and call themselves something else in order to make easier for people to accept them.

He said something complimentary about his elderly sister. He had and has no intentions of naming her to anything. Jeesh!

Here’s his first tweet on Scalia:

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 11m11 minutes ago
The totally unexpected loss of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is a massive setback for the Conservative movement and our COUNTRY!

You forget that the Dems are running a candidate as well.

Like I said, this is going to get really nasty.

Both parties potential Presidential nominees will soon be DEFINED by WHO they would like to see on the Court.

Understand this.

Those Court nominees will be the Presidential nominees "PROXY" for winning the election.

Leto, Trump was expressing his love for his sister.

He has said he will consult with Conservatives to make a good choice.

I don’t want Cruz anywhere near the SCOTUS.

Conservatives fell for another Bush nominee in part because so many like Cruz were endorsing and pushing him.

There are some big SC cases in the works this year too...”Public Unions”, “Affirmative Action”, “One person, One Vote”, “Obamacare”, and some others.

It won’t happen during Obama’s term.

Yes it will. McConnell will cave, by July at the latest. Democrats will make it the #1 issue in the race, and the GOP will cave.

Trump is a fraud. He’ll say anything he thinks gives him a path to power.

He has been a lib all his life until his supposed epiphany. Watch what he does not what he says he is a salesman who will say anything to close his deal.

Graham, McCain, McConnell, Hatch and others will provide the votes for Obama to appoint whatever America hating leftist he wants.

You left out Cornyn (though I guess he is among the "others").

The first nominee, no matter who it is, should be brought before the Senate and voted down. That’s the way the game is played these days.

I strongly disagree, of ALL the candidates running, Cruz would be the best POTUS at picking the next Justice, or being one himself.

No he hasn’t—he was a national fundraiser for Reagan.

And agreed he is a salesman. Though not only a salesman.

Trump and Cruz are my two top candidates and I don’t fully trust either of them. Cruz has a too clever by half slickness to him, too.

I’m voicing my concern that the typical gop will confirm a communist and all Cruz will do about it is make an ad.

You got that right. The senate lets Barry appoint Scalia’s replacement somebody needs to hang.

I predict Obama will nominate Eric Holder.

I just offered my sister and brother-in-law a $100 dollar bet, that the Republicans would not fold....either took the bet.
