Antonin Scalia found dead
Chief U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia, of the Western Judicial District of Texas, was notified about the death from the U.S. Marshals Service.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery said he was among those notified about Scalia's death.
"I was told it was this morning," Biery said of Scalia's death. "It happened on a ranch out near Marfa. As far as the details, I think it's pretty vague right now as to how," he said. "My reaction is it's very unfortunate. It's unfortunate with any death, and politically in the presidential cycle we're in, my educated guess is nothing will happen before the next president is elected."

IStandWithRandAndLiberty! Dump Trump! This is not Cruzieville.... Rubio is a Neocon Boy Toy!ruz, Rubio, McConnell insist that new president fill Scalia seat
If that guy that sits in our White House does try to nominate a replacement, I feel the Republican's must stick together and not confirm the appointment. Hoping they will put the Judge Nap. on the bench :)
"GREENVILLE, S.C. – GOP presidential contenders are arguing for the Senate to run out the clock on President Barack Obama, depriving him the chance to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia’s death today.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agrees.
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President,” McConnell said in a statement.
Nearly a quarter of Obama’s second term remains – just over 11 months.
But with news of Scalia’s death less than an hour old, Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have already asserted that the next president, not Obama, fill the job.
“We owe it to him, and the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement,” Cruz tweeted."
Said Rubio: “The next president must nominate a justice who will continue Justice Scalia’s unwavering belief in the founding principles that we hold dear.”

Rubio is a Neocon Boy Toy!
Disagree that Scalia was the apex of judicial appointments
But compared to the rest of them...no comparison. What a strange year this is shaping up to be.

He wasn't perfect but he was a
far better than who is going to replace him.

This is a huge blow to his family, to liberty, and to the entire
Country. We lost a constitutionalist today.
