Justice Scalia Already Embalmed, Obama Gets a THIRD Supreme Court Nominee
Truthstream Media ^ | 2/15/2016 | Melissa Dykes

(Watch the video at link)

Justice Scalia, we are told, died in his sleep Saturday night. He was found with a pillow over his head. By Saturday afternoon, he was being pronounced dead of a heart attack. The judge who pronounced him dead, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, did so over the phone without ever seeing the body, via Local ABC affiliate WFAA8:

She planned to drive to the ranch -- about 30 minutes south of Marfa -- but returned when a U.S. Marshal told her by phone: "It's not necessary for you to come, judge. If you're asking for an autopsy, that's what we need to clarify."

O...kay...

The family, reportedly, did not want an autopsy and the judge decided against it after speaking with the authorities on the scene over the phone. Meanwhile WFAA8's Jason Whitely reported that same day Scalia's body was discretely driven from Presidio County over three hours to El Paso where he was already embalmed overnight.

Was that even a full 24 hours from the time he died that they were already embalming him? Embalming, by the way, interferes with most of the toxicology studies.

Many others have called for an autopsy due to the judge's influential position coupled with the suspicious circumstances surrounding this situation, via WND:

William Gheen, president of the Americans for Legal Immigration political action committee, noted the media's "rush" to proclaim Scalia's death in a rented room in a resort in Texas as either "natural causes" or heart attack within hours of the discovery of his body.

"Anytime a head of state, member of Congress, or the most conservative member of the U.S. Supreme Court is found dead, an extensive autopsy and toxicology examination should be both immediate and mandatory," said Gheen. "The horrid reaction and comments about his death expressed by many liberals online illustrate that Scalia was hated by many people. His death hands the power of the Supreme Court to the modern left for the first time in American history. The court can now vote, even without a replacement of Scalia, to radically change the United States of America. Scalia's death means the Supreme Court is now very likely to rubber stamp Obama's unconstitutional amnesty orders, tear down Republican drawn districts in many states including North Carolina, and take deep left turns on abortion, gun rights, or anything the liberals have ever dreamed of. Scalia was a solid vote against Obama's immigration orders to be decided by April of this year. We do not contend there is a conspiracy, we contend that there should be no doubts, and the way authorities and the media are rushing conclusions will leave major doubts and legitimate concerns about a death that could lead to a radical political transformation of America to the left."

Coming up on the court's docket just happened to be all manner of Obama legacy items including Obamacare and immigration. Obama was already discussing his Constitutional duty to replace Scalia at his press conference on the justice's death. Apparently there's a window coming up when the Republican-controlled Senate's term runs out on Jan. 3rd, 2017 and Obama isn't out until Jan. 20th... meaning for 17 days he can appoint a justice and the Senate can't block his nomination.

And in other news, Supreme Court justices are appointed for life and -- in the crazy land America has now become -- a full one third of the highest court in our land is about to be comprised of Obama nominees.

This is the kind of event that lets you know the corruption behind devious inventions like Obamacare go far beyond the puppet the real owners running things have propped up in the White House.

Scalia makes the call himself. NO Security while on vacation is the usual....not the exception.

‘Judge Guevara said that she consulted with the physician and local and federal investigators, who said there were no signs of foul play, before concluding that he had died of natural causes. She said she spoke with a “Dr. Monahan” after 8 p.m. on Saturday to discuss Justice Scalia’s health history’.

She consulted with the physician (not on site) and Fed and Local investigators.....and spoke with a Dr Monahan after 8PM......well after Scalia’s body had been embalmed (who gets embalmed the same day without a Dr consultation?). Sorry, this story is too fishy to ignore. And oh yeah, I ALWAYS believe what’s in the NYT. /SARCASM

I think they should take up the nomination and debate it endlessly. They could easily stretch this on for months.

The Republicans are in total control of this entire process. There are but two things McConnell must do: 1) block any nomination from coming to the floor of the Senate, and 2) keep the Senate in session by not declaring it in recess (just as, I am absolutely certain, the Democrat leader would do if the situation was reversed). There is absolutely nothing the Democrat/Socialists can do except scream -- which, of course, they are very good at.

As Mark Levin said on Saturday, Justice Scalia's seat on the USSC must be defended.

“WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A vote to block the Obama administration’s ambitious climate regulation was one of Antonin Scalia’s last acts as a Supreme Court justice. His sudden death may have opened a new path to the rule’s survival.”

"There are but two things McConnell must do..."

I'd add a third -- he should quote the New York Times and the Democrats and what they said and did when the shoe was on the other foot.

(Unlike the Democrats, the Republicans don't need a filibuster here, since they are in the majority.)

Bottom Line, Scalia’s death is a major loss to conservatism and now threatens the foundation of American Freedom.

Mitch McConnell needs to forcefully pronounce that he will not bring a nomination to the floor, period, end of debate.

The GOP needs to make this a referendum on so much that Scalia has done to protect our Freedoms, starting with preserving the 2nd amendment and on.

This messaging will ensure a major voter turnout, unlike we have seen in decades. People will vote to support these freedoms and the GOP candidate will win in a landslide.

At every turn the Libs will be crying, at every turn the GOP needs to say we trust the American voter more than Obama.

What suspicious circumstances? The man was 80 years old, obese, diabetic, a lifelong smoker with a history of health issues.

Then why not do an autopsy to remove all doubt. If you're correct, that'd be a snap.

Instead, no autopsy on a man with a pillow over his head, who "just happens" to be the single most conservative member of the Supreme Court, and a rush to get the man embalmed (which interferes with toxicology studies). If you WANT conspiracy theories and to feed the growing mistrust of government, I cannot think of a better way - except to have McConnell inexplicably allow a vote on a replacement (which, given the spinelessness of the Republicans and the willingness of the Dems to do ANYTHING to achieve power, is undoubtedly coming).

We will have a 4-4 court until we have a new President. Been done before, not the end of the world.

You mean other than Justice Scalia's family, who had requested an autopsy not be done? I would think that absent any evidence of wrong-doing that their wishes should take priority.

This is part of what a person in the public eye, AND THEIR FAMILY, have to put up with. If he wanted total privacy for himself and his family, he could've had a career in private practice, or not accepted the nomination to the Court. I'm sorry, but this one particular man was so important that there needs to be NO doubt as to why/how he died...SO MUCH turns on the fact that he's gone, that he didn't survive for another 11 months and a week, that the public's interest overrides that of his family - IMHO.

I cannot agree more. It is time that the Republicans stop playing politics as a game that must follow Roberts Rules of Order - this is NOT a game, it is about power, and the Dems NEVER play by the rules UNLESS the Republicans hold the cards. Time for the Pubbies to grow a pair - AND THIS IS ALL WITHIN McCONNELL’S CONTROL, IT IS ON HIM IF OBAMA GETS ANOTHER JUSTICE!!!!

Yeah, that silly master assassin leaving the pillow on his face. Dock his pay!

The man was old and died. And that’s all there is to it. Period.

Thanks for the link. Interesting.

Actually, this info wasn’t “according to his doctor.” It was according to the NYTs, which only paraphrased, but did not quote, Justice Cinderela Guevara’s reported recollection of what the doctor said to her.

The New York Times says that the judge says that the doctor said...

That’s hearsay, not a primary source. It may, in fact, turn out to be pretty much accurate. However, given Justice Cinderela Guevara’s many missteps and communication gaffes along the way in this, it’s not unreasonable to put this in the category of Maybe, Maybe Not.

Well all this scare talk is a wonderful form of excitement but the fact is Mitch McConnell is not about to let BHO name a replacement for Scalia. There are many ways for the Senate to achieve this as the Senate totally controls the structure of the Supreme Court. They can just decide that the court only needs 8 justices thereby no vacancy to fill. The Senate can simply refuse to vote on a nominee put forward by BHO or they can vote it down or they can decide the court needs 11 justices and wait til the GOP candidate takes office and let him appoint 3 new conservative justices well 4 including the Scalia vacancy. Many many options.

I don’t expect much from the republican wusses now in congress. I expect them to cave as they always do and approve the worst choice: the America-hating White-blaming marxist who is now AG.

I think that it's more likely to be Valerie Jarrett or Kim Jong-Un.

I hear what you are saying.

Is it not a strange request? Why on earth would the family not want an autopsy? I know the man had health issues, but seriously if he was that close to “death”, why oh why was out on a ranch hooping and hollering?

Something feels not right...
