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."

Terrible..condolences to his family.
(and also on a selfish note, Obozo is jumping for joy)
its the ones that want to finish it that the Arkan’side scum care about
yes they can, if they will, I think..McConnell does not have to take it up
Well, it’s been a nice Country. Thanks for the Memories.
RIP Justice Scalia, a true Patriot.
You will be missed Sir.
I’m not seeing this anywhere else yet...
not on CNN
not on Fox
My thoughts too. I expect Holder.
It stays unseated until Obama is out of office. Is is what the Senate does if they are smart.
As young and as Pinko a judge as he can find.
Shit.
Dream on.
McCain and McConnell will be falling over each other to confirm The Won’s nomination, no matter how psychotic she is.
And the court goes fully lefty.
Thanks for voting for it America. :)
poison
Dummieland is split between trying to pretend they’re decent to outright urinations of happiness at this news.
RIP.
Himself? Who’d stop him?
Drudge up! This stinks. Call Texas Rangers to investigate
GOP will obviously put in a liberal judge
Personal opinion: The GOPe will back whoever Obama puts up rather than hold off until President Trump (or Cruz) is sworn in.
Very bad news.
The Usurper gets to appoint another Constitution hating liberal
Good luck on that.
Not seeing it yet on foxnews.com or cnn.com front page...drudgereport has link to the same article above...
