Law Scalia Died today

[GSP in 2006]

Read my post friend.

Speed reading has its drawbacks. Missed the not being able to run for re-election bit.

Cruz says we owe it to him to not have Obama replace him. I thought this was a man of the constitution?

 

[Prefect]

It was hard to even take the guys decisions seriously. Sometimes, it felt like he came to a decision but substantiated it with something flimsy that would be more palatable to the public.

It's just like executive orders. They are awful and unlawful to whatever party isn't doing them.

My condolences to the Koch brothers on their loss.

RIP.

I'm sad to say that the first thing I thought about when I read this news was, "Who gets to appoint the next SC justice?"

Brilliant jurist and will be missed. That said, the last four appointees have been excellent. I have confidence the post-Thomas streak will be kept going by Obama with another good candidate.

My money's on Sri Srinivasan.

I'm sure Scalia would be thinking the same thing so I don't really see it as awful to think about.

It's scary looking at Fox's comment section. "Lock and load, our republic is in danger." "Obama killed him."

Someone on CNN threw this guy out too. Senate confirmed him 97-0 for DC court.

I'd have to really look at it, but I honestly don't think most Justices serve much more than 20 years anyways. Most Justices seem to be in their 60s when they get the job to start with. (Roberts being an exception, he might do 40 years).

You gotta love it. Our republic is in danger because we may lose the conservative majority in the SC because a 79 year old died.

Obama's appointments were relatively young as well. It's becoming a strategic move but I think one that both parties could regret. Even if you agree with a ideaology, in 40 years, the country could shift a lot. I will say though that didn't seem to matter with gay marriage so I don't worry too much about long terms.

Can someone shed some more light on this guy? How could the Senate vote on anything unanimously?

They were talking about him on CNN. A rare unanimous Obama nominee.

Did someone actually try and sell the Mexican judicial system as good?

 

[MadSquabbles500]

Now we just have to wait for some horrendous sex scandal to be revealed involving all the judges, FBI, and so on and so forth.

He clerked for Justice O'Connor. He's got professional ties to Waltee Dellinger. And he was very competent in SCOTUS oral arguments. He's as good of a candidate as conservatives can hope for.

Srinivasan also is known for having represented former Enron executive Jeffrey Skilling in his appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court, Skilling v. United States(2010).
