CBS News reports that Sen Cruz and Sen Rubio have made statements that the next President should appoint the new Supreme Court Justice.
Another report said that Scalia told his companions he wasn’t feeling well the night before. The next morning, his companions went on the hunting trip, came back, and when he still did not get up, they checked on him.
If true, seems odd that *no one* in the party checked on him before they left.
RIP Scalia. He had the best mind on the Court. He will be sorely missed and we’re much worse off without him.
Flags to half-staff with the field turned UP!
RIP Scalia. Sad day. Republicans aiming to block Obama’s nominees.
Just reported that Obama is going to nominate someone pronto.
This is very sad news, indeed. :^(
CNN Jake Tapper just reported the White House announced Obama will appoint a new Supreme Court Justice.
THANK YOU LORD!!!
Republicans already opposing any Obama Supreme Court nomination
“The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky said in a statement.
Very sad news.
Worry now is Obama’s recess appointment when congress goes on break in January before Obama’s last day.
It is mandatory that he lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda and there be a national day of morning is beyond question. The flags should fly at half staff for one month !!
A lot of the American people are real dullards.

A great constitutionalist departed this day.
First and foremost: please say a prayer for his wife and his children.

As for replacing him: this is why it really doesn’t matter to me who eventually gets nominated (I have preferences, but our primary is so late it doesn’t much matter). Whoever we nominate has my vote.
Period, end of story. I don’t let personal hangups get in the way of the one blinding issue: Liberty wins and Communism loses. If anyone has some sort of personal hangup about a nominee, whatever that major malfunction is, get over it. We had that in spades the last time around and it was disgusting.
Ping to the Quinn list!
Foul play! (pardon me if this has been ruled out, as I just became aware of his death and haven’t read beyond this headline, just my initial reaction). God help us all.
Cruz should filibuster Obama’s appointee with “Winners Aren’t Losers” instead of “Green Eggs and Ham” this time around.
RIP. Dear Lord. We MUST NOT allow any republicans to support Obozo’s next SCOTUS radical. This is really bad.
