The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Wow.
All I can say is, no democrat judge should have had the authority to say whether he died of natural causes and whether or not an autopsy should be performed. There is a HUGE conflict of interest there.
Motive
“... the plot thickens ...”
Yes it does. And .. we can’t have the UNIONS losing their precious power .. after all .. if they did .. the DemocRATS wouldn’t have any funds to wage all their smear campaigns.
That is enough in itself to get one “taken out” about ten times over. Anyone who wanted a fat 78 year old smoker dead would obviously make an effort to make it look like a death from “natural causes”. That is as obvious as the nose on your face. No autopsy in this case is outrageous.
preventable by one senator holding a “pro forma” session? with a precedent under Bush 42?
My dear Watson, it looks as though something might be amiss here.
Well, if Vince Foster can levitate 400 feet through Ft. Marcy Park, anything is possible.
The Pelican Brief
I put nothing past this administration and the level of evil that exists within it. Scalia went to his doctor the Wednesday before his hunting trip. If he showed any sign of being ill, I’m sure his doctor would have cleared him. If you have a serious heart problem, you would not go on a hunting trip.
Breitbart is on it.
What this proves is that the USSC is political farce. If they were to be respected then they would be determining cases based upon constitutional law. If all the justices were doing that then it would make little difference who was sitting on the bench.
Do we know the political affiliations of the ranch owner, the justice of the peace and judges that decided an autopsy was unnecessary? Really? A Supreme Court Justice dies and every “I” isn’t dotted and “T” crossed?
I find it kind od odd that Drudge still has big headline up. He usually changes it in AM...
Trump on unions
I grew up with unions. New York is largely union, and I sort of spent a lot of time in Florida, which is also a union right to work state so it’s a different kind of thing. But I’ve had great relationships with unions, and I’ve made good deals. I’ve made a lot of money, I mean, I’ve made many billions of dollars and in many cases I’ve been dealing with unions. So, really, collective bargaining doesn’t bother me so much.

“Scalia’s Death Saves Unions From Momentous Ruling Ending Political Power”
Not so!
I heard something very interesting this morning that confirmed what I had suspected. The Chief Justice of the USSC has the authority to call a rehearing of a case. Because this case (and others during this session) may end in a tie (which would then let the lower court ruling stand), the Chief Justice can withhold releasing a tie decision and wait until the court vacancy is filled before requesting a rehearing in front of the full court.
So, then the question will be if Chief Justice Roberts will have a stiff enough backbone to not release the tied decisions in this case and others, and hold out for a hopefully conservative justice appointment .
I found a news article where the USSC announced a rehearing of a case because of the retirement of a Justice before a pending case decision was rendered that would apparently have resulted in a tie:

Obama will make a recess appointment who he will describe as a ‘moderate’.
Leading contenders are Chuck Schumer, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, or Bill Ayres.
