The death of Antonin Scalia brings the death of the Constitution one step closer to reality. As the longest-serving member of the Supreme Court Justice Scalia provided a solid foundation for upholding Conservative beliefs. He was known as an “originalist.” With his absence the court will continue forward with 8 members.
This is a disaster for liberty and freedom.
First – decisions can be made with the remaining 8 Supreme Court Justices. The current makeup of the court is fairly split 50/50 between Conservative and Liberal ideologies. Upcoming cases involving abortion, immigration, unions, health care, affirmative action, and religious freedom may be decided quite differently with Scalia’s absence.
Should the court rulings be split 4 – 4 the lower court rulings will stand.
So – what happens now?
Obama will nominate someone to replace Scalia. I suspect that he will find someone who most would consider a moderate. With the track record of Republicans in Congress they will be pressured to pass this candidate through. We do not need a Moderate we need a Scalia-like Conservative. Maybe the Republicans will block nominees from now until a new President is elected. Doubtful. If Hillary or Sanders is elected our problems will just be magnified.
History is being made right in front of us.

There is more than one threat out there.

THANKS PR – AND YES, TOO MANY DANGERS TO NOT BE ALERT AT ALL TIMES. KEEP LOOKING UP. . .
Wow! Thanks for sharing.
All – Just an FYI – this account that PHR provided is based on a true event. It occurred back in 2009. Did it all happen as Tedd Petruna noted? Well, that is the $64,000 question. Based on other passengers his account could not be corroborated.
Regardless – the threat from Muslim terrorists is real.
Ted Cruz has promised to filibuster any Obama appointee. Mitch McConnell says that we need to wait until we get a new president before we get a new justice. The senate is responsible for the approval or disapproval for a SCOTUS justice. Obama is going to put incredible pressure on the Republicans in the senate and we will have to see who blinks first, Obama or the senate Republicans. My money is on the Republicans folding like a cheap suit the instant pressure is brought to bear. I feel like our country is on its last legs the way things are going lately.
MI Patriot,
Cheap suit? more like they have dirty underwear to be shed at the first opportunity. The republicans are all scum now. They have joined the ranks of the marxist left. All the promises…roll back obumercare, take charge, stop illegal immigration, defund all the leftist agendas.
They did nothing but exacerbate the problems.
If we are lucky, all of congress will be found dead in their beds with pillows on their face. My guess on the autopsy of all, they will be found stuffed with federal reserve notes, to the gills. They couldn’t breath because of the filth from within.
We truly live in dark times.
Well at least I know that I have lived long enough to watch the downfall of our once magnificent country. Obama is going to have his way and there’s not a damn thing we can do about it. All his minions are in place and he is just waiting for the right time top give the order! If Trump wins Congress will ignore him if Cruz wins same. Rubio won’t win Trump will go third party an the Dems will win then we will be surely screwed. Better head for the hills now the American Empire is falling. Destroyed from within, just like Rome and all the others before US
May I suggest adding a automotive link John, I’m planning on spending a few thousand on my B.O.B the next couple months, and would be happy to contribute to our cause.
Hi Doomsday. If you click on any link to Amazon and make a purchase – even automotive parts – will earn us a small commision. Thanks!
Tedd, I hope you contacted some of the newspapers and TV stations-this needs to be told. Some of the Rep candidates for Presidency need to be asked questions about this and how they would respond . Glad you got home safely. GThanks for your assertive behavior an d bravery. Lightning
Weather issues : Happy we have adequate supplies stocked in because we had temps at 23 below and wind chills of minus 35-minus 40.Despite our best efforts one pipe
froze and the hairdryer came to the rescue -now a second pipe is frozen .Time to move to a one room cabin . I will miss the Chief Justice and hope and pray we have another conservative Justice. Lightning
My take on the entire justice issue is this. We claim we are in support of the constitution and want someone who will abide by it, but then everyone says that Obama should not appoint a new justice. While I wish that we were appointing a new justice under a different administration, I believe it is Obama’s constitutional duty to appoint one and would be pissed if he decided to leave the vacancy for over a year. It is also the Senates duty to except and review that appointee. While they don’t have a constitutional obligation to confirm the appointee, they have responsibility to review him or her. To have the Republicans call for him not to appoint someone, just goes to show what they think of the constitution and their responsibility to uphold it. You can not uphold the constitution only when it supports your beliefs. Where are all of the people that are normally saying that they took an oath to defend the constitution and that oath still stands?
You are correct JAS in that I think it is idiotic for Republicans to demand Obama not make a nomination. Of course he will make the nomination. Incredibly the Democrats getting all upset with the Republicans for making the suggestion did the very same thing in years past.
PR, the only thing I can say is WOW. JAS, yes you are right, but hopefully any appointee confirmation will be drawn out till after the elections.
Why wasnt an autopsy done on Scalia? I am concerned that someone killed him.
Lightning
Lightning – I would not get too caught up in that. He had health issues including heart problems. There was no reason to perform an autopsy from what appears to be a death from natural causes. Possibly due to his position the assurance of an autopsy would be just.
