Cheney took him out in his sleep.
b_d is in here. He probably has something snarky to say.
Conservatives everywhere are collectively ting their pants.
He's probably celebrating.
Well, the court is getting more liberal.
him and everything he stood for. Millions of people have suffered because of this miserable .
While I disagreed frequently with Justice Scalia's conclusions, I was always struck by his intellect and enjoyed reading his opinions. He will be rightly remembered as a Supreme Court an and one of its greatest thinkers. His is a great loss for the Court.
RIP.
classy as usual.
Now we just need Thomas to get hit by a Mack truck.
I can't imagine the Republicans not blocking any appointee he makes at least until the election.
All Bad Things Must Come To An End.
Repugs have been blocking, or slow walking, all of Obama's judicial appointees, screwing up the judiciary, and certainly they will block any Obama appointee for the SCOTUS.
Repugs up everything they touch, MISgoverning at every opportunity.
Too bad it didn't happen six years ago. Thank you for Citzens United you ing got.
Cruz and Lee have already made this case. 'bout to get real in' ugly

Scalia’s death comes just a month before the court’s biggest abortion case in years
Scalia was a near certain vote in favor of upholding the Texas law. Without him, things get a bit more complicated. But the key thing to know is this: without Scalia, its very hard to see a world where the Supreme Court affirms the Texas law's cons utionality.
Here's why: there are near-certainly four votes against the law from the Court's liberal wing. And it's possible there are five votes, as justice Anthony Kennedy has been a swing vote on abortion cases.
The best case outcome, then, for the abortion rights opponents, is a 4-4 tie. In that case, the ruling of the circuit court is upheld without setting any cons utional precedent.
This would let the Texas law stand, since the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the restriction. That would be far from an ideal outcome for the law's challengers and would leave abortion access greatly restricted in Texas.
Texas law would leave 900,000 women more than 150 miles from an abortion clinic

Repugs' War on (black, brown) Women's Vaginas
For once we didn't miss.
The Dems? They never miss. They pick somebody and that mf'er is straight down the line, never deviates a millimeter off the left. None.
Us? We're always making incredibly stupid picks. Even when we get a supposed ringer. Ha. me,,,he turns.
He'll come after the guns now with his pick. The POS.
Condolences to his family. I'm not going to pretend this news didn't make me smile though.
Um, no.
