‘Antonin Scalia’s Death Could Mark End of Constitution
…Scalia ensured that the Supreme Court wasn’t a transformative institution; now it will become the chief tool in the left’s arsenal.
It’s a sad commentary on the state of conservative politics that the only thing standing between the United States and the death of its founding document was a brilliant 79-year-old jurist. But unless Republicans stand up on their hind legs now, that will certainly be the case.’

    It gets better. Obama could make a recess appointment for the rest of his term and rail road any number of decisions through. I hope somebody is doing a careful autopsy on the remains.

    I don’t agree that he was for protecting the constitution. Like Cruz he was a religious zealot who disagreed with meaning of the first amendment.

    Scalia believed that the Constitution said government couldn’t promote one religion over another, but it could absolutely promote religion over non-religion.

    He said as much to students at Archbishop Rummel High School in Louisiana:

    “…there is “no place” in the country’s constitutional traditions for the idea that the state must be neutral between religion and its absence. To tell you the truth there is no place for that in our constitutional tradition. Where did that come from? To be sure, you can’t favor one denomination over another but can’t favor religion over non-religion?”

      Scalia was absolutely right on the subject of religion and the State, and what the Constitution had to say on the subject.
      That doesn’t make him a religious zealot.
      And it made him a fucking sight more honest than those members of SCOTUS who detected “emanations and penumbras” in the Constitution – which allowed them to “interpret” it in ways always favorable to their leftist agenda.
      What’s more, he absolutely refused to bow to the fashionable – and traitorous – leftard idea that the Constitution should be bent, twisted and interpreted according to the laws of other lands.
      The man was a hero, perhaps the last great honest American jurist.

    First and foremost, let me say; Antonin Scalia was among the most honorable jurists in the history of the supreme court. His official decisions were not based on ideology, but rather, the most literal interpretation of the United States Constitution as was intended by the Constitution’s architects. The country has sustained a terrible loss.

    Regardless of what depths obama will go, scraping the bottom of the most immoral socialist sludge barrels, to find a successor to the court, it will carry no magical key to obama’s dream kingdom. No one, including Justice Scalia, has blocked the bastard from continuing his reign of destruction. Not even the 535 people who lazily lounge on Capital Hill are equipped with the brass extremities to oppose him.

    What might appear to be a serious question of concern is; But what about the next conservative to make it to the White House? The answer is simple. (1) Does anyone truly believe America is intended to survive obama or, (2) Does anyone truly believe that the next “conservative” to win the oval orifice won’t be just as “bought and paid for” as the magic Kenyon?

      #1 No,not if he continues unopposed as he has been doing.

      #2 No,which is why I continue to back Trump and have gone cold on Cruz.

      Another factor could also spring up,Ginsberg has one foot in the grave and the other on a Banana peel.What happens if it’s 3/4 soon?

    My best guess is this latest convenient death by heart attack (Andrew Breitbart was another one) of an important conservative was plotted by the Left for quite sometime now, and I suspect all pieces are in place for another putsch by Obama to get his chosen one in place on the Supreme Court.

    It looks like the plan is to quickly legalize the rest of his second term agenda, which will end the fiction of our formerly free Republic.

    Of course, there are Southerners like my good friend Longstreet the writer who maintain the Republic ended on July 4, 1863 at Gettysburg with the Union victory, and the country became Mr. Lincoln’s Washington, D.C. centralized authority that ended the power of the various states, thus making them nothing more than a subdivision of the federal giant.

    So we may argue about exactly what date the constitutional American Republic fell, as there still are debates among historians over exactly what year the Roman Republic ended, but clearly our traditional form of government has been on life support for quite sometime now.

    All Obama has done is to kick it into the grave.

    …and now we come to the final act in 2016 – the struggle over who will be the first man in America…The dictator…The president for life….and maybe the civil wars….Perhaps a 21st century version of Pompey vs. Caesar? Trump vs. Obama? Stay tuned.

    Everyone is running around like headless chickens on this matter, as if the Constitution wasn’t dead and buried over a century ago.

    When someone says “Oh no, Scalia is dead and the Constitution is in danger”, what I’m hearing is “Oh no, it’s getting really hard to keep pretending that I’m not a subordinate wage slave the founding fathers would spit on.”

    May he rest in peace as an honourable man, but he is now one less speedbump on the road to facing the reality of the situation and acting accordingly.

    Constitutions – written or unwritten – are only as good as the people who execute them.

    If those people are just, moral and honest – then laws will be just, moral and honest.

    But if the ruling class becomes corrupt, degenerate and criminal – the laws exist to keep down the just, moral and honest.
