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."

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No....until the end of next January!
WITH GRAMNESTY, MCCAIN, MCCONNELL & Crew running the Senate...our American REPUBLIC IS frigging DOOMED. Gramham is probably celebrating in the local bath house now.
GOD PLEASE NO.
WE ARE TRULY SCREWED AS A NATION NOW.
What - and end up like Scalia?
>> If true, the GOP Senate best filibuster every potential candidate bammy nominates <<
Relax. You don’t need to filibuster when you’ve got a majority.
“All the Republicans have to do in the Senate is to kneel and run the clock out.”
I’m going to tell you something they had GD better or its time to get out the ropes and do some hanging from lightposts on Pennsylvania Ave.

What a disaster, perhaps Obama will nominate Trumps sister. :(
Interesting timing.
We are in for a struggle for the ages.
“This is the time to write to our Senators”
mine are Boxer and Feinstein, oh crap
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
And may the blessing of God Almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Rest upon you and dwell within you
This day and evermore.
Amen.
War is coming.
I don't want to see any smiling faces on the gop-es either.
game changer. RIP Justice Scalia.
Oh no.
Why is nothing on CNN or FOX?
******************************
It’s on FOXNEWS>
Unlikely Obama will be given the opportunity to replace him so close to an election so yes, it will.
RIP Judge Scalia.
Full vigorous investigation. Absolutely no discussion of new appointment until that and mourning completed.
“and Paul Ryan will do nothing to stop it.”
Paul Ryan will have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! The Senate Confirms, not the House! Start worrying about Scrotum Neck McConnell!
