Donald J. Trump Statement on Justice Scalia
Donald J. Trump ^ | February 13, 2016 | Donald J. Trump

Posted on 02/13/2016 3:16:52 PM PST by monkapotamus

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.

Thanks for posting McConnell’s statement. I see that he has picked up on Cruz idea to not fill the vacancy until the NEXT term of Congress. I pray he has the guts to follow through.

Rusty, I disagreed with Ronald Reagan on some things.

Do I think he was one of our better presidents? Absolutely!

We needed exactly Ronald Reagan when he came long.

Today, we need Trump in the same fashion.

A nice lack of politicking, unlike some other people on FR.

Alito is a friend of the family?

Scalia was one of his favorites?

He has good taste in friends.

TWO Italian Americans on the SCOTUS at one time!!

our grandparents came with nothing! And look!!!

:(

Deblasio and Cuomo should crawl into a hole compared to these two men, especially Scalia

I wish today's events didn't sound so much like

God to Justice Scalia: "You have fought the good fight..."
God to the United States: "Mene mene tekel"

DH just woke me with this news. Still attempting to absorb what has happened and digest the information using a brain still asleep. Dear God, this might be striking of our nation in the Achilles heel. With this weakness and the power of the demons, we stand little chance of surviving. The news is of no surprise. The man in the news will be sorely missed, a true American Conservative Patriot Rip Justice. There has been left a wide chasm in the fundamental base of our country with the loss of your wisdom.

That was a statement from Mr Trump I can get behind. Peace and comfort to all who loved him.

His sister severed with alito with identicle records. She spoke in his behalf at his senate confirmation hearing.
Both from NY NJ circuit.
Scalio like Trump comes from Queens NY

A classy statement by Mr. Trump about the sad death of the truly great United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

May Justice Scalia RIP.
