I am utterly heartbroken. I have told my wife for years that meeting Antonin Scalia just once was on my bucket list. His thoughtful jurisprudence will be sorely missed. God speed, Antonin, we will all miss you.
i wouldnt put anything past obama he probably had this done just so he could appoint a liberal
>> What about all the June decisions? <<
Some will probably be tied at 4-to-4, meaning that the lower court’s decision will normally be final for any specific “tied” case.
Ginsburg will resign - guaranteed - to force the Senate to allow “at least one” Obama appointment.
So sad!
Such a great man :(
Rest in Peace, and may God comfort your family.
How convenient for Oblama that a CONSERVATIVE CHIEF JUSTICE die while Oblama is in office.
“Not on this thread, thank you very much.”
Yeah. This is a full on emergency like 9-11...It almost seems worse.
I wonder if Obama will even feign to show sympathy. I know he’s high-five-ing and fist-bumping all over the WH now.
Maybe the coroner should just “wait for the official report to come out and then just sign it.” FBI Special Agent Nick Memphis, in “Shooter.”
Justice Eric Holder.
This is a national tragedy. What a terrible day for our nation
Justice Scalia was a great, great American. May he rest in peace.
I have to tell you, I hear that sh*t all the time. The first time you go out into your yard and have like four .308’s with night scopes trained on you, you will give up.
Or a single flash/bang tossed into your living room.
If you have a house, you will give up.
If you have a family, you will give up.
Period. I’ve heard all the bravado and gung-ho.
Not the House, only the Senate.
I don’t know. With Trump, an outsider, so popular, the GOP in DC are seeing how much we hate them and how we are desperate to get rid of them. And we know how much they love the DC party life and gravy train. Maybe they’ll straighten up and fly right.
Please, God...
This news may make Obama feel frisky, Reggie had best be prepared.
Sad, devastating loss for our country...
Why couldn’t Ruth Bader Ginsberg had been the one to pass? Why did it have to be Scalia?
Unfortunately, I don’t see the nation going a full year with only eight Justices on the Supreme Court.
