Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died, deeply mourned by his friends and admirers, while liberals are happily celebrating his demise (in their usual indecent fashion). La Raza, radical environmentalists, and the affirmative action establishment are celebrating today.
Scalia's sudden death leaves a 4-4 split on the Court, neutralizing the power of the Court until a ninth justice is confirmed. But Obama might try to make a recess appointment, thereby sabotaging the Senate's advice and consent role. He has already done that with the fraud-filled Iranian nuclear surrender "treaty."

Justice Scalia's sudden passing may have been due to natural causes. But for the first time since the assassinations of JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr., many Americans are sincerely wondering what might have happened. They are not just on the paranoid fringe.
President Obama is constantly claiming unconstitutional powers, something that Justice Scalia opposed with all the intellectual force at his command. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court itself has come under serious criticism ever since Chief Justice Roberts issued self-contradictory opinions favoring Obamacare. Hillary Clinton is being credibly accused of national security felonies as secretary of state, and the DOJ and FBI are said to be at odds on indicting Hillary. If she becomes president, there is likely to be a bloodbath in the permanent government in D.C. A perfect storm is rising in American politics.
As we can tell from the jubilation on the left, Justice Scalia had hateful enemies, and he must have received death threats, which the FBI must now re-examine. The American public must also know on whose authority an obviously necessary post-mortem examination was avoided. The best way to restore public trust is to appoint a bipartisan congressional committee to oversee a medical pathology team.

I think that’s reasonable.
Your wish is granted. I just heard that a Texas judge has ordered one.
Didn’t they find a pillow over his head or face. Isn’t that a bit suspicious?
That’s good info.
I respect their judgement.
Sometimes old guys just die.
The plot thickens.....
I say GOOD!
Scalia’s untimely departure means that if Ted Cruz’s eligibility is challenged he is now toast under all of the most likely scenarios... Supreme court deadlocked... liberal appeals court ruling stands.
Add Trump to the suspect list.
Can't do an autopsy. He had been fed through a wood chipper before he went to bed and died of natural causes.
4-4 split? How so?
Kennedy will just vote with the confirmed libs out of spite if the Senate blocks an appointment.
Do you know WHY they were against doing an autopsy? Could be anything, from belief they already know why he died, to trying to protect his legacy, to simply being in shock, to something more sinister. Seems to me, if for no other reason to prevent just these types of discussions, an autopsy would have been ordered.
Not if he had a headache when he went to bed. His eyes would have been red or bloodshot if he were strangled. I am 100 percent he died of old age from smoking, overweight, lack of exercise, horrible eating habits. But strangulation? Very doubtful. He was 79 not 59. He lived 7 years longer then average men.
Hope no foul play is involved. You never know.
Respectfully, it’s a lot more important than they families wishes.
What kind of threats or blackmail caused that?
Fer Sure.
Joselyn Elders must recuse
One would think that an unexplained death of someone as important as a Supreme Court judge would automatically be autopsied.
I think that absent any evidence of foul play then the family’s wishes should take priority over a James Lewis’s paranoia.
