He did not believe the Constitution was a living document to be interpreted with the evolving standards of modern times.

    Scalia died in his sleep after a day of quail hunting.

    What, a long haired socialist like Jesus on the court? Nonsense, they'd want a proper Christian not some middle eastern immigrant who's soft on crime.

    Of course they're not the party of Lincoln anymore. They were invaded by the racist southern Democrats who were opposed to desegregation. Lincoln's party was the party of the damn yankees interfering in their god given right to keep slaves and beat them regularly.
