Justice Scalia, Dead at 79
Editor's Note – Justice Antonin Scalia was a staunch conservative appointed to the SCOTUS by Ronald Reagan in 1986 and his whole career has been to uphold the constitution and defend the original integrity that our forefathers had intended. His death will, unfortunately, mean that Obama will get to pick a replacement to serve for life, the power of appointment being one of the most important powers of the presidency. This may be the biggest thing that Obama will have done in his eight years and it will undoubtedly have far-reaching effects on the rule of law in this country.
Let us mourn for this great man, but be warned that with his passing there will be major changes happening to this country.
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Antonin Scalia was found dead 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. MySanAntonio.com said he died of apparent natural causes.
Scalia arrived at the ranch on Friday and attended a private party with about 40 people, the website of the San Antonio Express News said. When he did not appear for breakfast, a person associated with the ranch went to his room and found a body.
The U.S. Marshal Service, the Presidio County sheriff and the FBI were involved in the investigation, according to the report.
Officials with the law enforcement agencies declined to comment.
A woman who answered the phone at the ranch told the Post she was unaware of the justice’s death, and no manager was available to discuss the matter.
A federal official who asked not to be named told the San Antonio Express News paper there was no evidence of foul play and it appeared that Scalia died of natural causes.
Scalia was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan.
