Antonin Scalia Has Died — Page 3

The ugly partisanship and bitter pandering on this page SICKENS ME. No condolences to the family. Not a tiny fraction of a semblance of respect for somebody who held a life of long-standing public service. Pull it TOGETHER, people. THIS is what's wrong with our country.

And if you want to want to keep up the erroneous fallacy that Scalia would jump around giddily at the passing of a liberal of comparable standing, why don't you look up the hundreds of cute pictures of him and RBG at the opera? It's called respecting ideology.

No. You need to get a grip, babygirl.

Excuse me if I don't show respect to the family of a man who showed absolutely no respect to me and mine.

Oh jay, baby, I hope you get your grip.

In contrast to the recent Dem debate between Hillary and Bernie, that was some ugliness on display in Charleston, SC by the GOP class clowns. Only Kasich managed to keep his composure, even under attack from Jeb.

Friends, did we all not witness Donald J. Trump say on national TV to Jeb Bush's face that there we no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? How does the GOP recover from that claim?

And at various times, The Donald, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio called each other liars. They used the actual "L" word in a televised GOP debate. Unlike the pundits who awarded Trump the victory, I thought he completely imploded out there. If I were a Republican, there's no way in heck I'd vote for Trump. He simply lacks the temperament to be POTUS. Imagine the pissin' contests between Putin, Kim Jong-un, Abu Bakr, Netanyahu, and him, and the consequences for all Americans. Worst still, what kind of folks would Trump try to appoint to the SCOTUS?

"Who held the moment of silence the longest? Surely not Trump?"

It was a draw between Rubio & Cruz. I'm not a pro pundit but I believe that Trump committed some unpardonable sins. There's no way the GOP establishment will entrust him with the party nomination. How many ways can I say brokered convention and Donald...you're fired!

Now I can finally RIP.

Namo, there's an embedded pic after the jump that's just for you. Night.

I'm glad the moderator didn't let Cruz get away with the erroneous and fictitious claim that presidents never nominate a Supreme Court justice in an election year.

"In the next few days, I think we should all treat the news of Scalia's passing with the same courtesy and respect Scalia would treat the passing of a liberal of comparable standing -- so feel free to tapdance, high five everyone in sight and say, "Burn mother f*cker BURN!!!""

Wow, you really are something. How the heck do you know how he would treat the death of a liberal judge?

"

1. Nobody proposed that we kill him or even hurt him when he was still alive..

2. Scalia was not particularly principled, unless "principle" now means "partisan prejudice". He was perfectly happy to drop his fundamentalist reading of the Constitution whenever it suited his rightwing friends. (See Bush v. Gore.) He didn't even bother with the appearance of impartiality, vacationing with Dick Cheney and the like.

3. He spent the last 3 decades insisting that most of us here are the legal and moral equivalents of child molesters. He never earned our respect and we are all the better for his departure.

I hope Scalia's death inspires Sanders most ardent supporters to realize no matter how much they dislike Hillary that if she is the nominee they need to support her or jeopardize every single progressive cause for generations to come.
