Antonin Scalia found dead

Chief U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia, of the Western Judicial District of Texas, was notified about the death from the U.S. Marshals Service.   

U.S. District Judge Fred Biery said he was among those notified about Scalia's death.

"I was told it was this morning," Biery said of Scalia's death. "It happened on a ranch out near Marfa. As far as the details, I think it's pretty vague right now as to how," he said. "My reaction is it's very unfortunate. It's unfortunate with any death, and politically in the presidential cycle we're in, my educated guess is nothing will happen before the next president is elected."

The man refused security. I read this earlier this morning unfortunately I didn't save the link but here's another article with interesting details.

"We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled," said Poindexter.

He then contacted federal authorities, at first encountering a series of answering services because he was calling on a weekend.

"Ultimately they became available and handled it t superbly. They flew in by helicopter. They told me to secure the ranch, which I did until this morning," he said.

From the WAPO: The judge who pronounced Scalia dead to the world never saw the body, didn't call for an autopsy, took the law officers' word that Scalia died of natural causes because the judges' doctor said he was ill.

Yep, the Nation and the world is at stake here and a judge dies and another judge uses the phone.

Here's the quote from WAPO: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/texas-tv-station-scalia-died-of-...

"In a statement Sunday, the U.S. Marshals Service, which provides security for Supreme Court justices, said that Scalia had declined a security detail while at the ranch, so marshals were not present when he died.

Smell something. SAY SOMETHING.

What cases were in the schedule? What cases did he vote for that changed everything against what the administration wanted? Let me guess. Guns? I didn't research that. Excuse me. Just pondering.

If that guy that sits in our White House does try to nominate a replacement, I feel the Republican's must stick together and not confirm the appointment. Hoping they will put the Judge Nap. on the bench :)

"GREENVILLE, S.C. – GOP presidential contenders are arguing for the Senate to run out the clock on President Barack Obama, depriving him the chance to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia’s death today.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agrees.

“The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President,” McConnell said in a statement.

Nearly a quarter of Obama’s second term remains – just over 11 months.

But with news of Scalia’s death less than an hour old, Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have already asserted that the next president, not Obama, fill the job.

“We owe it to him, and the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement,” Cruz tweeted."

Said Rubio: “The next president must nominate a justice who will continue Justice Scalia’s unwavering belief in the founding principles that we hold dear.”

But compared to the rest of them...no comparison. What a strange year this is shaping up to be.
