This. Every man’s death diminishes us…but his presence on the court also diminished us, and this vacancy is beneficial to the country.
I didn’t rejoice at the death of Richard Nixon or Ronald Reagan; I rejoiced when they left office.
He was a very intelligent man. He had a sense of humor. He was a gifted writer. He had a strong knowledge of the law. If only he had used his powers for good.
I thought Cruz pretended to support the Constitution. Nothing in the Constiution about “the ***next ***President fills vacancies.”
This just became the most compelling political season that I can remember. I can’t wait to read the conspiracy theories. I thought someone on Free Republic floated the factoid that Scalia started the investigation of Hillary Clinton.
I think Obama should nominate Bill.
Had he been ill? I thought he was pretty healthy.
He probably saw some a man buy flowers for his husband and had a heart attack.
He was 79. My dad is 79, and he’s healthy, but you know, he’s 79. People do die.
Be careful, there. Do not call up any you cannot again put down.
Whoops, forgot the link on my last post:
The Onion is reporting Scalia died after a 30 year battle with social progress.
That would present a serious conflict of interest if Hillary becomes president.
Of course, to make that argument, the Pubs would have to admit that is a serious possibility. 
Fear not, I was referring to what NPR noted, Scalia always commented outside the courts because he was aware that he would be an influence even after death. So we ‘will have Scalia to kick around’ for awhile.
Have him RIP? Fuck him. Fuck him up the ass. I stood up and cheered when I heard that pompous prick bit the dust. My heart actually felt joy! I’m looking forward to that horses ass spending eternity in Hell being butt fucked by every Hell’s Angel who ever walked the earth and every barn yard animal who has passed in the last last 10,000 years. I r-e-a-l-l-y hope he gets embalmed with gasoline so we can “lite him up”, that fat fucking sack of rotting donkey dicks. Fuck him. Fuck him up the ass!
Now let me tell you how I really felt about that jag-off…
I’m reserving this quote for when Obama dies.
Find me a quote where Obama says being a minority is morally equivalent to being a murderer.
To paraphrase Bette Davis on the passing of Joan Crawford:
I was taught to only speak good of the dead.
Antonin Scalia is dead.
Good!
Better yet, find me a quote where Obama says that you shouldn’t be cleared and released from Death Row even if new evidence (such as DNA evidence that wasn’t possible when you were convicted) proves you didn’t commit the capital crime in question. Even more than his utterly vile opinions on same-sex orientation and rights, of women and their rights, etc, I think that opinion was the one that demonstrated to me just how evil and horrible a human being he was.
I’m sorry he’s died. I always hope people will see how unfounded their fears and hatreds are. I didn’t want him dead. I was hoping he would change. People do change.
He won’t have that opportunity, and I think that’s something to be sorry about.
Crawl back under your bridge, imbecile.
“People do change.” I agree, they just don’t improve.
