We have been told this man died of natural causes - i.e. heart attack. Problem -

Scalia’s head was under a pillow when he was found dead at a Texas ranch, according to the ranch owner who found his body.

“We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bedclothes were unwrinkled,” Texas millionaire John Poindexter told the San Antonio Express-News Sunday, describing how he found the 79-year-old jurist in the “El Presidente” suite at Poindexter’s 30,000-acre luxury ranch on Saturday.

“It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap,” Poindexter said.

comment: This man was the tie breaker and has been for difficult cases in the Supreme Court. With him gone they may be deadlocked on many issues. This could even effect what happens concerning Hilary Clinton's arrest or charge with criminal charges as she tries to continue her campaign.

There was no autopsy at the family’s request and his body was flown from El Paso to Washington, DC, late Sunday afternoon.


comment: Guess they will never know for sure.

Yep, the pillow over his head bothers me. Does anyone sleep with a pillow over their head? Please post here if you do.

If the court is tied then the decision of the lower court stands. Anything that the court made a decision on and Scalia would have tipped the balance the decision has to be remade.

I hope Americans elect a conservative president and congress majority because there are others on the Supreme Court that will die in the next 8 years and we will have a fully liberal court. Our gun laws will change, our ability to purchase ammo will change, abortion will happen up until the time of birth, and much more liberal ideals will be pushed on all of us.

I don't mean to start an argument guys it is just a fact. Let me put it in a different way, if we TODAY had a conservative President and the current congress/senate the Democrats would want to the conservative President to wait until after the election to put in a Supreme Court Justice. But no one says that on national media!

Found this one on the net interesting!


Read it and weep, Democrats. The shoe is on the other foot. David Bernstein at the Washington Post’s Volokh Conspiracy blog:


Thanks to a VC commenter, I discovered that in August 1960, the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a resolution, S.RES. 334, “Expressing the sense of the Senate that the president should not make recess appointments to the Supreme Court, except to prevent or end a breakdown in the administration of the Court’s business.” Each of President Eisenhower’s SCOTUS appointments had initially been a recess appointment who was later confirmed by the Senate, and the Democrats were apparently concerned that Ike would try to fill any last-minute vacancy that might arise with a recess appointment.

The GOP opposed this, of course. Hypocrisy goes two ways. But the majority won.

As it should this time.
