Antonin Scalia dead

I think this was the most exciting news of the day. Rupp winning and Goucher missing out was almost as good as knowing Scalia will be rotting in the ground soon and is burning in hell (if there is such a place, which I highly doubt).

Good riddance to a piece of trash.

Let me guess: you advocate killing human fetuses in utero.

Let me guess; your heroes are mass murderers and Wall Street criminals.

You guess wrongly.

Ginsburg and Scalia were very good friends, despite different political ideologies. More folks could learn from that.

Ford and Carter were best friends.

Therein lies the difference between mature adults and petulant people suffering from arrested development.

Bill Clinton doesn't fit the age/health criterion that Obama has been using to make sure his nominees last somewhat close to as long as Republican nominees, but more importantly, I believe that what they got out of all that nonsense Lewinsky scandal was an agreement that he couldn't serve as a justice--something on his legal record.

Jeh Johnson would be the kind of nominee that might work with the Senate as currently composed. He wasn't on previous long lists of possibles.

Obama would make a great Supreme Court justice. He might even want that. Who knows? Clinton would have made a very good one if there had been a President Gore and the aforesaid plea deal was annulled. The Democrats have not nominated a male justice, I believe, since Clinton's presidency. There are surely many very strong male democratic candidates by this time, several generations of them.

Whether they approve or block, it's all good news for the Dems.

That's how I see it.

First, a very conservative justice will be replaced by someone.

Obama will nominate someone.

Probably someone very reasonable.

If that person is approved, then the political balance changes in the Supreme Court.

If the Republicans stall into November with an approval, they could be hurt politically if voters see them as unreasonable.

That could hurt Republicans in the senate races and in the presidential election.

If Hillary gets elected, they'll just confirm the choice after the election and before she is sworn in.

Worst case scenario for Democrats - the Senate stalls and we get a Republican president who appoints someone that can't be any more conservative than Scalia (Rest In Peace).

Was he shot in the face by his fellow draft dodging coward Dick Cheney?

A great evil has left this world and has just begun an eternity in the fires of HELL.

Dick Cheney was a war veteran and received a purple heart....

Cheney never served a day, and cowardly dodged the draft 5 times.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is another Bush Administration ChickenHawk who likes to wave the flag and send Americans to war even though he did not have the courage to serve his country during the Vietnam War.

According to Dick, he had "other priorities" while 350 or so of his peers were being killed each week while he avoided his service.

Dick Cheney may have shot his hunting buddy but did not receive any purple hearts. What he did receive was five military deferments. As a young man, he also failed twice out of Yale, failed to finish his doctoral program at Wisconsin, and received two DWI's.

Cheney shot his lawyer in the face while hunting without a license and out of season. Cheney has zero respect of the laws of this country, and zero respect for the armed forces.

Someone typed that Dick Cheney was a war veteran and got a Purple Heart?

Where? In the Bizarre World?

And Dean Wormer was also evil, same as Hitler, Stalin and Scalia.

Whether there is a Hell or not, this country is much better off with Scalia dead.

Having worked at the Federal Appeals Court level, you would be very surprised how well judges from both sides of the political spectrum get along. From everything I've heard, the Supreme Court gets along well, too. I would imagine the left of center justices on the SCOUS would be absolutely disgusted by some of these comments.

Totally agree. As I recall, he and Ginsberg, though holding very different political views, were very close friends. You can disagree with someone politically without cheering their death. Just disgusting readying many of the liberals hateful, insensitive comments.

"That's the argument of flexibility and it goes something like this: The Constitution is over 200 years old and societies change. It has to change with society, like a living organism, or it will become brittle and break. But you would have to be an idiot to believe that. The Constitution is not a living organism, it is a legal document. It says something and doesn't say other things."

“If we're picking people to draw out of their own conscience and experience a 'new' Constitution, we should not look principally for good lawyers. We should look to people who agree with us. When we are in that mode, you realize we have rendered the Constitution useless.”

-Antonin Scalia

There's that liberal love we've come to expect.

Big deal, he had different political ideology than you...and look what you wish for him.

Actually I'm surprised you make mention of Hell since I'd almost expect somebody of your ilk to be an atheist,

Let's be clear about the record. Reagan started the name calling "he's a card carrying liberal."

And the Republican Dirty Tricks Team of Nixon named themselves "The Rat *uckers." (The "rats" presumably being the Demo's they were doing the dirty tricks on.) This is part of the congressional investigation record.

Get a grip, oldster.
