US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Has Died (theguardian.com)

clovis writes: US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died in his sleep while on a hunting trip near Marfa, Texas. Justice Scalia was a Constitutional originalist and textualist. He did not believe the Constitution was a living document to be interpreted with the evolving standards of modern times.

I, for one, am very interested to see what happens next.

Obama should word with rankng Senate members of both parties and nominate a politically-centrist judge whose judicial qualifications are impeccable.

Or they could just select a racist, sexist, blatantly partisan, third-rate juridical bombast whose greatest claim to fame is having written some of the most laughable Supreme Court arguments in recent memory.

'Cause we're short one now on the bench.

Obama's already picked two moderates? Right... try another joke. Or maybe you're not joking, and you're just a fucking idiot.
