Has this been confirmed? It sounds like an internet rumor.
May Justice Scalia rest in peace. He was doing the Lord’s work on that court. As my username suggests, he was my second favorite justice on that court.
At first I thought “Oh no! Obama will get another liberal in”. But then I remembered we have a Republican senate. Hopefully they will “grow a pair” and delay things until we can get President Cruz in there.
This will definitely help the Cruz campaign. Cruz clerked for Scalia if I remember correctly.
