Panegyric
A panegyric is a formal public speech, delivered in high praise of a person or thing, a generally highly studied and undiscriminating eulogy, not expected to be critical.
We’re going to be listening to a lot of this sentimental crap in the next few days.

I think she means that when Scalia showed up to those exclusive Ivy League alumni furry parties, he preferred to don a lion costume.
A lion of American law has left the stage, and it is up to all of us – every American – to keep our national constitutional dialogue as lively and as learned as he left it." (Attorney General Loretta Lynch)
Very well said.

Let the dead bury the dead.
And, oh, what a kidney stone it was. My peter hurts bad!

…“statement mourning the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia…”
TPM, let me correct your writing. It’s “Celebrating”, not “mourning”.

Scalia will be reincarnated as a broom-pusher … behind the likes of McConnell, Cruz, Reagan, Boehner, etc., all now reincarnated as zoo elephants.

Please. There are lots of respectable, nice, congenial janitors out there who actually have contributed to society.
Scalia’s biggest contribution to the world will be to the various grubs, snails and bugs as he decomposes.
