Ktheodos,
Yes, it certainly is.  I am worried about that as well.

My thoughts:  All hell's gonna break loose.

I didn't always agree with him but he did try to stay true to the constitution.  I worry about who will be next.

Thanks for your remembrance on FC forum, madeara. I only knew his name but was not aware of how great a man he was and how highly respected. He was one of a few good men.  :star:

I intend to read more about him at this point and hope his replacement will be up to the task at hand.

Now the fight begins on whether the sitting President will succeed in naming his replacement to the Court or if it will wait until 2017 when a new President takes office.  I am not saying I am in agreement with the decision or not, but it seems highly likely that the Republican majority in the Senate will filibuster any nominee confirmation hearings.  With such heated Presidential races going on already, and the HUGE impact Scalia's replacement will play on the balance of the Court, this is going to turn into one heck of an election year -- even more than it already was!

Judge Scalia was an excellent supreme court judge who will be missed.

May he rest in peace, but how dare that some would like to take away our President right to name a new judge, how dare!!!!!
