    A justice of the peace declared Scalia died of natural causes, without ever seeing the body, and declined an autopsy.
    Nope, nuthin' to see here!

    Wow. Just wow.

    We could probably do a lot worse than Srinivasan. I don't know a lot about him but I know he was a very popular Obama appointee that received a 97-0 vote in the senate confirmation to the appeals court. According to Wiki he clerked for O'Connor but also worked for Gore. He's no Scalia. But then, few if any of that caliber are out there.

    ETA: Found this in a NYT article (I know, I know...):

    When Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, asked whether Mr. Srinivasan believed that the Constitution was a “living document,” the nominee was circumspect. Many Tea Party conservatives, like Mr. Cruz, believe that adherence to the Constitution’s original meaning is sacrosanct. Mr. Srinivasan replied, “I would say no. The Constitution has an enduring, fixed quality to it.”

    Not sure I believe it. Kagan was circumspect about the topic of same-sex marriage when she was going through confirmation then came out and basically said she'd rule for it after she was installed. Sotomayor was similarly circumspect about how she'd rule on hot-button issues. To be fair, Roberts was similar on liberal hot-button issues but I think it's clear Roberts has ruled for liberal issues more often than Sotomayor or Kagan have ruled for conservative issues.

    Not an endorsement. Just an observation about a possible, even likely, nominee. I haven't been able to find any real "red flags" on him yet...other than he worked for Gore.

    What other flags needed? I would think the fact that Obamalamadingdong wants to appt him would be enough.

    Cibolo Creek Ranch owner recalls Scalia’s last hours in Texas
    "We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bedclothes were unwrinkled," said Poindexter.

    That sounded really odd to me.
    The body of the Supreme Court justice was moved to an El Paso funeral home early Sunday.

    The body was driven from Marfa and arrived around 2:30 a.m. at Sunset Funeral Homes, according to spokesman Chris Lujan.

    Lujan said the funeral home was chosen by family of the justice, and at the advice of a family friend.

    The El Paso County medical examiner's office said they hadn't received any information regarding the possibility of performing an autopsy.

    This also sounded odd to me.

    I am willing to bet a 12 pack of shitty beer that Oblablahblah will get his nominee in before the election.

    I can see the fucktard Rs in Congress and those running for POTUS being afraid of looking looking bad while "obstructing" His Highness's appointee and caving....again. And that's exactly how the media will portray it from this day forward: "Do nothing, obstructionist Republicans!!" For the next 9 months. Awesome.

    The future of America be damned, as long as I get elected and get set for life! Both sides say this too. I have such little faith in the political system anymore.

    Damn, I'm starting to sound like my grandfather.
