Balta1701 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Not even up on many of the major news networks yet, but several local sources reporting it in Texas and the Governor of Texas has released an official press statement on it.

Brian Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Took no time for people to politicize it. Of course Republicans think we should wait a year to appoint replacement because that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'm not sure it's out of bounds to politicize a position with a lifetime appointment. Their health and lives are political issues with huge ramifications. This is a mammoth development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Whole bunch of potentially huge rulings could change because of this. Public sector unions, clean coal regulation, the Texas affirmative action case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 SCOTUS appointments are one of the most important aspects of a President's rule, but for some reason rarely get talked about in election cycles. This will change that. Not how I wanted that change to come, though. I disagreed with pretty much every opinion Scalia wrote, and he was clearly a pretty hateful person, but it doesn't mean I'm happy to see him dead. He was a brilliant guy, and he made you think about the reasons you supported your position. That's important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Scalia was a hateful, racist, and misogynistic son of a b****; that being said he followed his own moral compass and that's what makes freedom wonderful. I disagreed with the guy on almost everything but my heart does go out to his family and loved ones.
