When the shocking news of Justice Antonin Scalia's passing hit Saturday night, my mind raced back to a White House Correspondents Association dinner seven years ago, when we were seated together.
We bantered about my hometown of Chicago, where he had taught law before ascending to the bench. He opined on wine and music and generally lived up to his reputation as a man who told and enjoyed a good story.

Everyone knows that Scalia would have wanted a staunch Conservative. No one has said otherwise, but under the conditions, which Scalia understood, it makes sense that he would want someone he liked and respected.

Scalia would have seen in a second what a Piece of Shit Axelrod is and wouldn’t have given him the time of day.
Axelrod is trying like a little bitch to build a narrative, for when Atty General Cruz comes for his sorry azz.
Wow.
Did my computer go wild.
I was speaking of Axlerod. Only a creep like him would make up lies.
I knew Axelrod in a previous life. He likes collies. Young ones.

He’s not even honest enough to be a democrat liar!
And you can bet your behind that if Scalia actually said that then Obama would NEVER have nominated her. Because that’s how Obama works.
Meanwhile, although I do agree with your [unstated] stance against torture (just a little sly joke there, if you don't mind --what good would that do at this point anyway) we do need to find way to quarantine the most rabid of the behind-the-scenes manipulative socialists liars who insist we all be forced to quaff (and pay for) communism by the drink.
If more government control is the answer, I am persuaded we need to reformulate whatever question(s) it was that led to that answer=have somebody else do it, and pay for it too.
If we keep "progressing" down the same road we've been on under Obama (and his advisers such as the Chicago Socialist Axelrod) then form of slavery of the masses (if not politically connected, employed by government, or else wealthy enough to pay into all the assorted and highly stealthy pay-to-play schemes the community organizer-in-chief has been playing both ends against the middle of) ...is just around the bend.
You could say that we're pretty much there already, but it can get worse, oh you betcha'.
You can say that again.
Dems in Senate passed a resolution in1960 against election year Supreme Court appointments
By Thomas Lifson
Read it and weep, Democrats. The shoe is on the other foot. David Bernstein at the Washington Post’s Volokh Conspiracy blog:
Thanks to a VC commenter, I discovered that in August 1960, the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a resolution, S.RES. 334, Expressing the sense of the Senate that the president should not make recess appointments to the Supreme Court, except to prevent or end a breakdown in the administration of the Court’s business. Each of President Eisenhower’s SCOTUS appointments had initially been a recess appointment who was later confirmed by the Senate, and the Democrats were apparently concerned that Ike would try to fill any last-minute vacancy that might arise with a recess appointment.
The GOP opposed this, of course. Hypocrisy goes two ways. But the majority won.
As it should this time.
We’re alum, Axelrod and myself. Stuyvesant class of 72. He was pretty much an avowed communist back then from what i remember. To be fair (not myself)it wasn’t totally out of bounds back then with Viet Nam going on.
I don’t understand why people find it hard to believe.
you guys ever play Wagner or Farrell in football :)
and yes, that was about the time commie was in.
HECK, i worked in nyc only several years ago and people who made six figures said they were communists :)
