Great thoughts - prayer’s for our next President as well ...

[TexasFreeper2009]

I hope Trump and the rest of the candidates demand that his replacement be delayed until after the election.

The American people should have the final say on who gets to choose his successor.

A most respectful and meaningful tribute.

Good statement from Trump.

He should have thought out his criticism in December of Scaila more before shooting from the hip. Scalia was right about his statements.

[20yearsofinternet]

His statement is quick and gracious. Works for me.

[reaganaut]

Well worded and professional.

Antonin Gregory Scalia
(March 11, 1936 -February 12 or 13, 2016)
was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, who served for 29 years, from 1986 until his death. As the longest-serving justice on the Court, Scalia became the Senior Associate Justice. Appointed to the Court by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, Scalia was described as the intellectual anchor for the originalist and textualist position in the Court's conservative wing.

Scalia was born in Trenton, New Jersey, and attended public grade school and Catholic high school in New York City, where his family had moved. He attended Georgetown University as an undergraduate and obtained his LL.B degree from Harvard Law School. After spending six years in a Cleveland law firm, he became a law school professor at the University of Virginia. In the early 1970s, he served in the Nixon and Ford Administrations, first at minor administrative agencies, and then as an assistant attorney general. He spent most of the Carter years teaching at the University of Chicago, where he became one of the first faculty advisers of the fledgling Federalist Society. In 1982, he was appointed as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by President Ronald Reagan. In 1986, Scalia was appointed by Reagan to the Supreme Court to fill the Associate Justice seat vacated when Justice William Rehnquist was elevated to Chief Justice. Whereas Rehnquist's confirmation was contentious, Scalia was asked few difficult questions by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and faced no opposition. Scalia was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, becoming the first Italian-American justice.

McConnell statement per Drudge:

Nice put together statement from the Trump public relations team. Very canned response, but appropriate.
