So long, Scali!!
Anyone care to dream cast his replacement?

I'm not too polite to say it: what wonderful news!
And while Obama still has almost a full year to be the one to appoint Scalia's replacement! (Though I shudder to consider the shenanigans the Republicans in the Senate will pull to avoid confirming anyone whom Obama nominates...)

Wow. I would seriously love Elizabeth Warren to take his seat ...

He was a man of conviction who will be missed by family, friends, and those on the right. I'm certain his passing will have an impact on tonight's GOP primary debate in Charleston, SC.

Can you imagine the pandering tonight? The moment of silence, the high praise, the applause?

Namo, I'm trying to remain respectful but it's DIFFICULT.

Holy crap! The battle over his replacement will be epic.

Obama will never get a chance to name a replacement. Senate Republicans will filibuster that right through the election at least.
Obama could nominate Jesus and Republicans wouldn't confirm him- "a middle eastern socialist Jew? Never! We need a good Christian in there!"

Nobody's written anything terribly bad so far, but please remember—a man has died. A man who served his country, regardless of whether you agreed or disagreed with him, has died. Respect is integral here.

Please - remember that man who tried his entire career to strip people of their rights with the dignity he deserves.

I imagine he would expect--indeed, hope--that in this moment all Americans would be thinking of his legacy.
I believe he did a great deal of harm to a great many people. And I think that should be remembered.

Many GOP senators are already saying they will block any Obama noninee.

It's shaping up to be the mother of all elections. Several attorney friends have texted me reminders that SCOTUS sessions typically run from the 1st Mon in Oct to around July. Somebody please explain the difference between an intrasession appointment and a recess appointment. This stuff is somewhat byzantine to me.

Obama will have a hard time. So if he can't do it maybe Hillary will. But if he can I don't think it necessarily needs to be a liberal. Someone moderate but fair is fine with me. And it would also add a nice touch to his legacy. Just something to consider.

That would be a waste of his power to appoint.

There are other justices that will feel more comfortable leaving now.

If anyone is interested, Newt Gingrich has issued a call to the right for the blocking of any Obama nominee.

Gotta love the way the GOP is mishandling this. To immediately politicize this within 24 hours of Scalia's death is downright stupid, and it will not sit well with independent voters.
