A Class Act is now gone

R.I.P Justice Antonin Scalia. You will be missed.

Yes, so will the Constitution...

I don't trust the rest of them any further than I can throw them... with the exception of Clarence Thomas, I guess...

Later! OL J R :)

I saw the segment on him this morning on Sunday Morning. The first thing I said to my wife was "Oh crap! Obama get to appoint the replacement before he leaves office", this bodes bad for the constitution. But I also saw a glimmer of hope, Cruz plans to filibuster the nomination. I guess we'll really get to see how spongy the republican party's backbone has become in the next few days.

I'm sorry but I cannot agree . If anyone has done more damage to the Constitution and the United State than Justice Scalia I don't know who that would be other than the four other Justices that voted for Citizens United. All of them should have been impeached for selling all of you to the highest bidder!

Don't you just hate it when the Grim Reaper beats congress to the punch and thwarts the opportunity to rake someone over the coals in an impeachment proceeding?

The point of my original post was that even though Justices Scalia and Ginsberg had profound differences of opinion with regard to issues before the Supreme Court, they were able to not only be civil to each other but actually become close friends as evidenced by the article I cited.

Unfortunately, some rocket enthusiasts are either unable or unwilling to put aside their differences with others. Their egos just won't allow it.

Good point about being civil and becoming friends but it doesn't change my opinion of Scalia.

And you are entitled to your opinion. Perhaps you should lobby your congressional representative and urge him/her to initiate impeachment proceedings against the other four remaining justices who sided with Citizens United before they conspire yet again? :rolleyes:
