Two questions about Justice Scalia's passing

[HenryBHough]

My first thought was: At his age he was entitled to a little rest. Seriously.

Second thought: What a nice way to go - in one's sleep. Yes, hard on the family but far better than a painful, lingering death which injures everyone in any way connected.

Better to go suddenly so people don't feel guilty over how they came to feel about you when enduring a long, pain-filled demise.

I've had friends and relatives go both ways and personally would prefer the sudden and peaceful route.

Not that we get to choose....

Scalia will go down in history as one of the most brilliant legal minds of all time, like Benjamin Cardozo and Oliver Wendell Holmes.

The president spoke very highly of Scalia after learning of his death.

... after finishing his round of golf.

Edited to add: With as much time as he spends on the golf course, you could almost put those words after every sentence regarding Obama and be accurate most of the time.

Someone on the Right said Obama spoke too soon, not allowing the body to be cold.

Oh, I guarantee the body had long since assumed room temperature before he spoke, much like the IQs of the average liberal commenting on the topic.

It took about a minute and a half after his death for the pubs to politicize it.

You all politicized it almost immediately. Don't pretend for even a second Dems took the moral high ground on this issue.

This was a Soviet style "natural death" and it's shocking so few people see it.

A "natural death" made worse by the lack of autopsy.... no coroner....no manner of death....no nothing.

An autopsy should have been performed if for nothing else than putting the minds of people at ease and stop further speculation.

Mainstream media: Senate to block confirmation of Obama SC justice appointment just because a majority of repubs were voted in by the people.
The nerve!

He couldn't put on a necktie to make his statement? I suppose he's pissed he had to cut one round of golf?

1. No celebration
2. Who the Hell cares...Would their families care if I died?

Imagine, the gall.

Ask Chuck Schumer when he said Bush with 18 months left in Office should not appoint a judge. Hypocrisy much?

Honestly, the successor Obama will try to push through and the looming loss of civil rights as a result.

Just a fat old man under doctors care for a condition he died from, guess what?? It happens every day..

What does the stock market look like for the year? Since you are prognosticating with clairvoyance...

Why would I celebrate anyone's death?

I really don't know anything about Scalia's family- my first thought was that this was a tragedy for his friends and family.

How did you celebrate when you heard the news?
