Because the really smart people shave with Occam’s Razor and understand that 79 year old fat guys die,

Are you saying Justice Scalia doesn’t deserve to have his death investigated because he was “fat,” or is it because he was 79 years old? What if he had been 75 and in excellent condition? 70? 65? Who gets to decide when the death of a Supreme Court justice is worth investigating? You?

anybody conspiring to kill Scalia would have been much better served to do it 3 years ago when Obie would have had a much easier time getting his nominee through.

Well, I guess that clears it up.
I’m saying when fat old guys apparently have heart attacks there’s really not a lot of reason to go carving them into pieces over the objections of their family. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar... speaking of which I’ve seen indications he was a smoker, more reasons to suspect normal death.
It does actually clear it up if you’d bother to think things through. Because if you still think he was offed you have the brilliant idiot problem. On the one hand the people who conspired to kill him must be brilliant to pull it off so cleanly with nobody who can do anything suspecting anything. And yes they’d have to be complete idiots to time this so poorly, not only will they probably not get the nominee they wish, this whole thing is likely to inspire conservatives and lead to an even worse beating for Dems come November. If you conspiracy theory requires the conspirator to be both geniuses and morons you’ve really just shown why your conspiracy theory is wrong, and a simpler, less interesting, explanation is the right answer.
