Senior U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia found dead at West Texas ranch

Associate Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead of apparent natural causes Saturday on a luxury resort in West Texas, federal officials said.

Scalia, 79, was a guest at the Cibolo Creek Ranch, a resort in the Big Bend region south of Marfa. According to a report, Scalia arrived at the ranch on Friday and attended a private party with about 40 people. When he did not appear for breakfast, a person associated with the ranch went to his room and found a body.

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 really unfortunate with any death. And now, politically, in the presidential cycle we're in my educated guess is nothing will happen before the next president is elected."

We desperately need to impeach several non-constitutionalist Supreme Court justices and we need a years served cap of 20 to 25 years on these elites in black robes.

I am in shock...79yrs old, unexpected, he did not seem ill.
I hate to get paranoid, but at this point in our country , let me say, if someone had him killed...I would not be shocked.

Such a decent, strong patriot.so few patriots like him of courage and conviction and truth.

O Rest in peace dear Judge Scalia and may your family find peace and consolation.

Sad to hear this and hope he rest in peace.

Now onto my tin hat theory.......I smell a rat and that “rat” wears a large size pants suit.
It is no secret that Hitlary was definitely NOT FOND of Justice Scalia and NOTHING, NOTHING would surprise me that the Clinton clan had a hand in this untimely death. More SCOTUS “deck stacking” by odumbo will soon surface.

This will be an election issue. Anyone up for reelection will be tested on this, both in the senatorial and presidential races. I can only hope it will scare a RINO or two into discovering a vestigial spine and using it to vote ‘no’.

R. I. P. Scalia

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free.
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, as we
raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

God Bless America, land that I love.
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam.
God Bless America, my home sweet home.
God Bless America, my home sweet home.

Obama gets another chance to "fundamentally change" ie screw - America.

One sad step closer to Berniezuela.

He would show up to vote at even lowly firehouse primaries in his Great Falls, Virginia neighborhood like a regular guy. Tragic loss for America.

All the Republicans have to do in the Senate is to kneel and run the clock out.

...

Most of the Republicans in the Senate are as bad as Obama.
