Multiple news outlets in Texas are reporting that Justice Antonin Scalia, who served for three decades on the U.S. Supreme Court, died in his sleep of apparent natural causes Saturday at age 79. According to the San Antonio Express-News, Scalia was attending a private party at the Cibolo Creek Ranch in west Texas on Friday night. Staff reportedly found him on Saturday. President Ronald Reagan appointed Scalia to the Supreme Court in 1986, where he became the intellectual leader of the Court’s conservative wing. Among the wider public, Scalia was one of the few justices who became a household name, due in part to his outspokenness and his often-blistering dissents from the bench. We’ll have more information as it becomes available.

My God. Heaven help us and the constitution now. Arm yourselves while you still can.
They're going to want 0Muslim, the Quislaming Commie traitor, to appoint a bat-sh*t crazy Lefty to complete the possession of the Supreme Court by the Dark Side, before he's ejected from orifice in January 2017.
And they're not going to stop at ANYTHING to get their Lefty.
I think there might be only one guy that can stop the DeathStar.
The “problem” with the SCOTUS is not the justices, it’s the other branches of government who allow the court to exceed its authority. Most of the cultural rot in this country is the result of SCOTUS decisions, from banning prayer, creating abortion “rights” out of thin air, the court’s re-write of Obamacare to the absurdity of “gay marriage”. A liberal majority will certainly seek to abolish the Bill of Rights beginning with the 2nd Amendment. A conservative majority is infinitely better... but, the nation cannot allow the court to be able to put the laws and freedom of the nation at the mercy and whims of five lawyers, no matter who they are!
