Whoever will speak for Clarence now? I fear his voice has been silenced.

Someone’s loss, someone else’s gain.

There goes slob Robert’s grip on the court.

No J Edgar paraphenalia?

To say something kind of the dead–I imagine Mr. Scalia was a pretty awesome grandpa. But I have to say the country is not worse off with his passing.

Our ideological and partisan commitments should never be so all-encompassing that we cannot step aside from them to recognize realities that transcend them: in this case, that this was a genuinely brilliant man and a patriot.

I’m not sure who his first loyalty was to, but I don’t believe for a minute that it was the United States I believe is possible. He exercised his intellect to deny the rights and opportunities of people who could help achieve our betterment on the orders of his corporate and religious masters.

Nah, Cheney specializes in shooting his hunting partners while they are awake.

His passing is indeed a great loss to the Republican Party, the racists, the gun nuts, the Tea Party, and a few others of like mental abilities. Their loss is indeed a huuuuuge gain for the USA.

GOP WHORES are already putting spin on this - Cruz trips over himself to be first to say that Obama must be prevented from naming replacement.

GOP obstructionism will be on full display now. DEMS - take notice. You must get to the polls in unprecedented numbers in the Fall - this is important!!

Best news I’ve heard in a while.

Of course, I won’t believe it until I see a photo of a wooden stake driven through his heart.

At least there won’t be any more arguments about who is really the chief justice.

I hope it wasn’t cholesterol ---- I’m havin’ a DOUBLE ice cream ! ! —

Obama will nominate a replacement … and will shrewdly select a nominee who will be very very difficult for anyone to oppose - - other than to simply come straight out & say they want to totally take away Obama’s ability to make a selection… which will work even worse than the shutdown.

He didn’t serve our country, John! He served his political and religious agenda!

Problem with this is that it will be someone more right of center that we need to start unwinding the damage caused by Scalia. :{
