I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the Scalia family after the passing of Justice Scalia. Justice Scalia was a remarkable person and a brilliant Supreme Court Justice, one of the best of all time. His career was defined by his reverence for the Constitution and his legacy of protecting Americans' most cherished freedoms. He was a Justice who did not believe in legislating from the bench and he is a person whom I held in the highest regard and will always greatly respect his intelligence and conviction to uphold the Constitution of our country. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time.
You people?
I am saddened to learn that a very large piece of America just died. My prayers are for his family, his loved ones, and his Country. He will be sorely missed.
Today, Lady Justice cries.
May Justice Scalia RIP.
Well if he needs to say it tonight so be it.
He’s just SAYING THAT to sound conservative.
Sincerely yours, (my imitation of a supposed) Ted Cruz (supporter)
One of the reasons I’ve been pushing Cruz is the SCOTUS nominations. Trump can relieve a lot of anxiety if he comes out positive on this, so that is the silver lining to Scalia passing.
It was just a few days ago on Hannity’s program that Trump said he would appoint justices like Thomas and Scalia.
I’ve heard Trump say three times that he would appoint Justices like Clarence Thomas. He added Justice Scalia a few days ago when asked by Hannity.
Pardon me .....
I didn’t realize this was this was the Justice Scalia condolence thread.
I thought this was the Donald J. Trump canned response post.
DJT’s response is very canned. In many ways that is to be expected as he is not of the political class and would not have the insights of Justice Scalia’s rulings, reasoning’s, or briefs.
That being the likely case, the canned response is to be expected. Sadly, very sadly, there are many FReepers here who hold a deep regard for Justice Scalia and his conservative and reasoned briefs for the court.
DJT’s response seems light in the shoes and very canned, lacking the understanding or gravity of the loss to the court.
Pompous and bombastic of you. Any condolence from Trump would have criticized by you. Many of us here are deeply hurt by this loss and your nastiness is like joking at a funeral. Let people express grief as they will
Wow? I didn’t say you couldn’t express grief or anyone else for that matter. Nasty, joking...nope I am not either of those, just reading Trump’s words and saying they ring hollow to me.
You don’t like my response to DJT? Oh well I guess, I stand by every word I posted.
I stand by my claim that Trump could NOT HAVE SAID ANYTHING in any way that you would not have trashed.
Temper tantrum alert!
I was out tonight and haven’t had a chance to really catch up here. What I’ve seen so far is enough to make me take no mercy on any Cruz supporter. I have never seen so much gaming before the man is even laid to rest, it is vile!
The thread you linked was pulled, I’m sure it was a good one.
What is wrong with people??
Funny, go back to my original post and reread the word...
I believe I said, “appropriate.”
So stop trying to trash your fellow FReepers for noting the obvious. Your over reaction comes from an emotional place, and many of us are worried and concerned by yesterdays news.
Thank you. Trump is at a disadvantage in this situation. Hi
I am not trashing I am saying it is a nonemotional fact that you would have criticized Trump regardless of what he said or how he said it. Odd that you accuse me of emotionalizing after accusing Trump of being canned with no emotion.
I think all of us are concerned about the loss of Scalia but most of us accept all candidates condolences not criticize them. This is a national loss.
Wow.
I still love you as an American and wholeheartedly believe you want the best for America we merely disagree on what or who that is.
