First thing that popped into my head after I saw the red alert on top of Drudge Report was baragh hussein just murdered Justice Scalia. The trail of baragh’s victims is long and tragic and truly shocking. Inexplicably and out of the blue, people keep dropping dead at pivotal times trying to expose something about baragh (anti-baragh Rolling Stones reporter Michael Hastings) or resisting something (Andrew Breitbart), or preserving something (Justice Scalia, as in balance of the Supreme Court). For a man in Justice Scalia’s place, certainly aware of the crucial place he holds, and the critical last year of obamination, wouldn’t you think he would be taking the utmost care of his health and wellbeing?? Was there any indication of any heart problems before this? What does his Drs know and say??? The more we know about the number of important, consequential decisions on the docket for this court, Scalia’s death becomes more troubling and scary. baragh had all to gain by death(murder) of his number one Conservative nemesis WITH REAL POWER IN HIS HANDS, and Conservatism had all to lose ... a BIG win-win for the street thug in chief.
Another big baragh win-win is that even if he can’t achieve his desire to replace the most consequential effective Conservative Justice on SC with one made in his own mafioso-fascist image, didn’t he just backstabbed bernie sanders — his supposed kindred spirit — and hand the dem nomination to hillary which he feels has a better chance against any of the pro-Constitution American candidates opposing them? It’s truly mind-boggling what this bloodsucking scumbag is getting away with.
As another freeper pointed out, he doesn’t need a new justice appointed, to be able to undo America by judicial fiat. Scalia was one of 4 conservative justices, there are 4 liberal justices, and there’s one who sometimes goes conservative and sometimes goes liberal. With Scalia gone, the MOST conservative votes there can be is 4, and that’s only enough to tie the 4 liberal votes. To overturn a lower court’s ruling you have to have a MAJORITY, not a tie.
IOW, the 9th Circus can do whatever “fundamental transformation” they want, and there will be no SCOTUS to overturn them. Right now.
