“Presidio County does not appear to have a medical examiner.”

“Jones - what are we going to do about the drugs - how long will they stay in his system?”

“Well - forever once he’s dead.”

“Won’t a medical examiner figure that out then?”

“Yeah, but I know this place.....”

I believe he would need to get the consent of the minority leader (Harry Reid). Do you think Harry will agree to that . . . .

Eric Holder.

I don't think Hussein will waste time with a nominee that is DOA; he wants to get this done quickly. He'll present a "moderate" that is acceptable to the RINOs.

“When [the physician] explained [Scalia] had just visited on Wednesday and Thursday and [the doctor] had done an MRI [for a shoulder injury], then I felt comfortable what I knew was going on with him physically,” the county judge said.

Holy crap - he died from a shoulder injury!

One FReeper has already questioned this. Regarding talk of an Obama recess appointment, it seems to be up to the Senate to decide when it is in recess, corrections welcome.

My concern is that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification, RINO-controlled Senate will try to play any constitutional excuse to not take responsibility for confirming an Obama-nominated replacement for Justice Scalio (RIP).

Getting back to recess appointments, again, it looks like it is up to the Senate to decide recesses. And if such is the case, it is also beginning to look like the Senate does not have any solid constitutional loopholes to use as an excuse to ”abdicate” its constitutional responsibility for confirming justices. Again, corrections welcome.

I am sooooo happy that this is an election year. The Senate appears to be between ”a rock and a hard place,” with respect to confirming an Obama-nominated justice, Obama on one side, and patriots very angry at corrupt Congress for protecting lawless Obama for the last 7+ years on the other side.

Remember in November !

Yes and it appears that there will be no autopsy.

Then why does the article say that this is a true recess?

When I heard an announcement so fast that it was due to "natural causes" without specifying which, I suspected the fix was in and that there would not be one. Now I'm definitely in the "suspicion of murder" mode until I hear indication otherwise.

He’s been embalmed by the Sunset Funeral Home in El Paso.

I MAY BE COMPLETELY WRONG! The concurrent resolution as passed by the House says nothing about a pro-forma Senate meeting:
. . .

I'm confused to say the least.


It is possible, (but IMHO very unlikely) that Obama can make a recess appoint until Feb. 22nd.

Just another thought ...

Since Clarence Thomas (and possibly Samuel Alito) are the only remaining conservatives worthy of the name on the Court, can they withhold their votes on cases that come before the body? In other words, can they practice a sort of judicial filibuster and simply refuse to rule since the Court is shy one Associate Justice? Or do the justices rule at the command of the Chief Justice, who we know is a squishy obama-ite.

There are no pro forma sessions because the House agreed to the resolution.

Bummer. Am sure the wife & family want no violation of the body, and he did have chronic ailments. Still... The body already has been embalmed for transport to Virginia. Believe that means bodily fluids evacuated and the formaldehyde pumped in. Suppose an autopsy could still be done, but sounds like game over at this point. I just remember suspicious Obama deaths at opportune times (grandmother, Hawaii health director) and also for the Clintons (too numerous to list).
