Associate Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead of apparent natural causes Saturday on a luxury resort in West Texas, federal officials said.
Scalia, 79, was a guest at the Cibolo Creek Ranch, a resort in the Big Bend region south of Marfa.
According to a report, Scalia arrived at the ranch on Friday and attended a private party with about 40 people. When he did not appear for breakfast, a person associated with the ranch went to his room and found a body.

And the Republicans have already told the President not to even bother trying to name a replacement. Shameful, an immediate dive into partisan politics, and they wonder why Trump (and Sanders) has so much support.
He should nominate somebody as soon as they finish tossing dirt into Scalia's grave.
Agreed, if not sooner. The interesting play would be a middle of the road candidate with recent support from both sides of the aisle, perhaps like Sri Srinivasan.
McConnell is saying that the voters should have a say in the new appointment, so it should wait until there is a new president. Problem with that is that the voters DID have that say when they elected Obama twice. I know you wanted Obama to be a one term president, Mitch, but you failed at that, so shut up and do your damn job already.

My new hero is whoever first said, "McConnell thinks black Presidents only get 3/5 of a term."
Unlike shotgun pellets, a pillow
leave no trace.
