The San Antonio Express News and the New York Daily News are both reporting what I had hopes was an awful hoax when I first heard it. United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia has reportedly been found dead while on a hunting trip with friends at a Texas ranch. Scalia was reportedly found dead in bed after friends became concerned that he did not show up for breakfast this morning.
Justice Scalia will be remembered as a staunch defender of the United States Constitution. His many opinions and dissents over the years are some of the best written in a lifetime. Few justices have the had the knack for intelligent but relatable (not to mention memorable) writing like Justice Scalia. His presence on the court will be sorely missed.
Antonin Scalia was born right here in Trenton, New Jersey on March 11, 1936. He graduated Harvard Law in 1960 and served first as Assistant Attorney General under President Ford before being appointed a judge to the U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia under Ronald Reagan in 1982. President Reagan ultimately elevated Justice Scalia to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1986. He was widely seen as being the most conservative justice on the Supreme Court.
Please join us here at Save Jersey in extending our thoughts and prayers to the Scalia family and to freedom loving people everywhere in this country as we mourn the loss of a great American.
WELL THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD. OR WHAT’S LEFT OF THE FAKE CONSTITUTION. WHOOOOO WILL THE HEAD PORCH MONKEY PUT UP THERE? ANOTHER PORCH MONKEY? AN ILLEGAL LEGAL ALIEN? CATLYN BALLS JENNER? WHOOOOOO. HMMMMM CAN’T WAIT.
Time to rename the SCOTUS to the People’s Commissariat for Justice.
Prayers

God rest his soul
Sad for his family AND our country.
If Obama gets appoints another liberal to the Court….there goes the 2nd ammendment
Good thing we nominated Mittens, the only electable candidate in 2012 and 6 million conservatives stayed home. Don’t worry I’m sure Paul Raul and Mitch McConnell will not let Obama get thru a big Lib…..see omnibus
I look forward to watching you swing at the end of a rope, Little Prog. Start searching for that spiderhole – you know…the one we’ll be dragging you out of when justice is served.
Meh. We white, Christian conservative patriots own most of the firearms. They can pass whatever laws they want and even burn the Constitution on a bonfire of liberal vanities. Talk is cheap and legislation even cheaper.
Any meaningful repeal of the 2nd amendment necessarily involves…wait…here it comes…CONFISCATION.
Do the words “Molon Labe” ring a bell?
As though everyone needs to be armed with AK-47’s. Thanks Scalia.
