(CNN) -- There will be no autopsy performed on Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a source familiar with the case confirmed to CNN...

——I DEMAND Doctor Ben Carson perform the autopsy——
Dr.Carson is a neurosurgeon, not a coroner...
If he has ever done an autopsy, it’s been decades...
Silly idea....
Do you all realize who invited him and found his body?
John Poindexter of Iran Contra infamy. He is this Houston ranch owner. I say keep the tinfoil hat on.
Quoting:
THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH Despite the Reagan-Bush Justice Department’s strategic inaction in prosecuting Contra-connected drug operations, legal actions were taken against some disillusioned Contra supporters who spoke out against the drugs and corruption.
On June 28, 1988 a Federal grand jury in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, handed down indictments against 13 pro-Contra mercenaries for conspiring to violate the Neutrality Act, which prohibits U.S. citizens from direct, private involvement in foreign wars.
A key target of the indictment was former Contra-trainer, Jack Terrell. Months before the Iran-Contra scandal erupted, Terrell, a U.S. citizen, voluntarily provided the Miami U.S. Attorney, the FBI, Congress, and journalists with information about the grittier aspects of the illegal Contra network. As an investigator for the International Center for Development Policy, Terrell had prepared an exhaustive list of the major and minor players in the Contra secret war.
However, after Terrell appeared on a June, 1986, CBS news-magazine show, National Security Advisor John Poindexter wrote a memo to President Ronald Reagan terming Terrell a “terrorist threat” because of his public allegations about the Contra network’s alleged human-rights abuses, drug-running and arms smuggling.
Poindexter also suggested that Terrell might be a foreign agent for the Nicaraguan government, threatening to assassinate the President.
“This is the ultimate reward you get for talking,” Terrell said in an interview after he was indicted. “When you blow the whistle, when you talk against the policy and start exposing corruption... then the administration’s policy starts falling apart and people start falling off the wall like Humpty Dumpty. Then they go after you with everything they got.”
It turns out that Terrell had been attracting concern for a while. Eighteen months earlier, Robert Owen, a former aide to then-Senator Dan Quayle, wrote North a memo stating that Terrell “knows too much and it would do no one any good if he went to the press. He has to be finessed out.”
He was.
His family declined an autopsy-I’m pretty sure they knew if he had health risks, and I doubt are the type who would give in to threats-any of us who are of Latin ancestry-especially Italians-do not take threats kindly at all...
Along with other things that are common knowledge about Judge Scalia is that he was overweight, he went to a lot of parties, liked Italian food and wine a lot, smoked heavily and wasn’t an exercise freak-apparently, he believed in enjoying life his way-as was his right. But his way doesn’t usually lead people to live to be 100...
Never mind. I think it’s a different John Poindexter. Sorry.
Don’t hold your breath.
It was in the Houston Chronicle via this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3397049/posts
At this level prudence requires you eliminate even the most remote possibilities....if you had a 79 year old US President that was in good health then was found dead alone...you would perform an autopsy to double check
.... the key term is "simple prudence" to eliminate any doubt for all concerned and all concerned in this case is every citizen of the United States...
Uh huh. Yeah right.
Because if Trump or Cruz end up with more electoral votes than Hillary or Burny and the Dems decide to take it to the Supreme Court...
Yes, the Justices do have their own SS force. Scalia had a such a force. This past week he was in Dallas speaking. After doing so he walked out and with the force in tow proceeded to a nearby barber shop. Had his hair trimmed and chatted with the barber. Said he was hungry and where was a good place to eat. Barber told him around the corner. Scalia asked to barber if he would care to grab a bit with him. The two had lunch together at a small cafe. One presumes the force was seated at near by tables. If, indeed, the man was poisoned, that barber might have in his position a lock to examine at some point in the future? This adventure was told on live local radio last week. It is presumed the source is reliable. DH heard the broadcast and relayed the info. At the time it seemed rather strange and off the wall. But it also showed just what type of man A. S. was. A man of the people.
That probably means that the medical examiner can expect to live a few more years. Giving past history . . . they probably couldn’t find anyone willing to do it.
Not that they waited till the last year, maybe it’s a possibility that did not occur to them earlier.
Something that could be seen in a superficial examination and is also a result of cardiac arrest.
And yet because this was not an obvious Arkancide, the only way to thrust things like this into the light would be to have some kind of uniform law.
Even if they had done one....would we believe the findings?
Hmm wouldn’t the family want to know cause of death?
Huh? :-) Ok. That's your theory and you're sticking with it. Good grief.
His wife can decide on that, can’t she?
I read where the justices are protected by US Marshals.
Anyone see Pelican Brief.
