Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump hailed the legacy of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on Saturday.
Scalia was found dead at the age of 79 earlier in the day.
"Justice Scalia was a remarkable person and a brilliant Supreme Court Justice, one of the best of all time," Trump said.
"His career was defined by his reverence for the Constitution and his legacy of protecting Americans' most cherished freedoms," Trump continued. "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."

Roger that !
He’s a public figure who has had enough interest in politics to be running for President. Why wouldn’t his views over the years be known?
I haven’t been able to find that, but I’ll keep looking.
So he’s not allowed to pay proper respects ? Because of a previous ruling ? Really ?? Come on now, you are better than this.
LOL like we'd ever know
You’re a private citizen, where are all your published c comments on the SC justices ?
I’m aware of his recent criticism of Scalia. I’m also aware of his recent praise of Thomas.
I’m looking for comments from Trump about SC Justices before he decided to run for President.
I’m not a public figure who has been wanting to run for President for many, many years.
This is a terrible loss. I have met his youngest child, a funny guy and a college professor but not at all like his dad.
Donald Trump tweeted:
“The totally unexpected loss of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is a massive setback for the Conservative movement and our COUNTRY!”

Scala gave his life for his friends today. No greater love.... He has ruled from the grave so that the Obama administration can not jam his faux amnesty through the Court.
It just goes to show that Trump is a much bigger man than you think he is.
Trump should nominate Cruz for the SC.
A moving tribute, well said.
Obama can now remake America.
except when he slammed Scalia for being racist what, a month ago???
he called Scalia racist just a month or so ago...
It’s just Trump BS. He’s good at it.
“It’s gonna be great. I love African-Americans...” Open ended stuff.
He said:”That quote sounds racist. I love blacks”.
I hope Trump sticks to the one-liners wrecking Jebbie.
