Texas Governor confirms Scalia Death

Quote
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.

Chief U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia, of the Western Judicial District of Texas, was notified about the death from the U.S. Marshals Service.   

U.S. District Judge Fred Biery said he was among those notified about Scalia's death.

"I was told it was this morning," Biery said of Scalia's death. "It happened on a ranch out near Marfa. As far as the details, I think it's pretty vague right now as to how," he said. "My reaction is it's very unfortunate. It's unfortunate with any death, and politically in the presidential cycle we're in, my educated guess is nothing will happen before the next president is
elected."

The U.S. Marshal Service, the Presidio County sheriff and the FBI were involved in the investigation.

Officials with the law enforcement agencies declined to comment.

Awh poor guy. I feel sorry for him. Even though he was the most conservative one in there, it's kinda sad to see these people go.

Well regardless, that lets Obama appoint a liberal Judge in the Court. This means HUGE things on a number of issues, from health care, to gun control, to campaign financing. Talk about a timed death.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
A true hero, one of the few men who stood against the gay-progressive narrative that's destroying this country. RIP

The longest it has ever taken to confirm a Supreme Court nominee is 125 days. Obama has 361 days left in office.

We are under nine months from the 2016 Presidential elections, as well as the election that will determine the Senate majority. The GOP in the Senate are not going to give the Democrats and Obama any victory prior to the election - they have no need to. There is no Congressional requirement to approve a justice within a certain amount of time.

On top of that, there is the Thurmond Rule in play.

I just hope you're not as close minded as to think gay marriage or something is seriously wrong. Otherwise the rest of the civilized world is begging you to catch up.

Apparently the Thurmond Rule is something both parties really don't care about when politically inconvenient. But yes the Senate just said  they won't be voting for anyone, so yeah nvm. The next elections will possibly decide this. Still, 11 months is a long time.

Pretty good, though there is a slight breeze that needs addressing. Give me your hand, I'll hoist you up to the logic saddle.

I can support it if you want.

I don't see why gay marriage would both you, especially in the US where conventional marriages resort in 50% divorces. If two people love each other, regardless of race or gender, why should it matter to you personally who gets married?

Considering I have a gay uncle, a few gay friends, and am bisexual myself, I don't really see the big deal with it. Last I checked the constitution said all men are created equal, and people should get equal protection under the law. And sadly to say in your case, many states had already swung in favor of it, a lot doing so in less than 5 years. It was inevitable that the Supreme Court would make it legal across the entire country, and the voices that are against it are slowly dying out.

Our northern neighbors (aka America 2.0) is laughing at us for complaining over something they settled more than a decade ago.

It's not about me supporting something seen as "progressive" for the sake of supporting progressive movements. It's about what I feel is morally right.

Edit: Give me ONE legitimate reason why it is wrong? Why it is so evil? That's why I feel it makes me, or anyone else who has this view, is morally better than those against it. Because who are we to say people can't get married if they love each other? Especially when marriage in this country is already shallow and messed up as it is? It's not anymore "holy" for a man and woman than it is two men or two women. This isn't the 1900's anymore. Marriage isn't seen as some sacred thing now a days, and today's people don't feel obligated to get married to live a normal life anymore.

Believe it or not, people aren't living in isolated bubbles, people's decisions and actions effect all the people around them and shape society as a whole. Having no care for what the individual does is having no care what society does.

Oh boy, I can't see any reason why you would be biased and have a warped view of how the world works considering you entire lineage is filled with degenerate memes. Yes, gays can do what others can do, and if you want the economic benefits that straight couples get from marriage, there's nothing stopping you from getting it without state-sponsored marriage. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that the media penetrates every aspect of the masses' lives and that it does nothing but to inform them of one angle of a complex issue?

If you're looking at Canada as a bastion of intellectual thought, you're sorely mistaken. If you criticize their government and aren't a citizen you have committed a crime. That's just the tip of the iceberg of their problems.

Just because the sanctity of marriage has been defiled by our culture's looseness and inability to commit itself to something other than someone's genitals for a single night does not mean we should throw it all to the wolves and let it become the worst thing possible. Gays embody the most degenerate factors of our culture, and the swinger nature is oh so common among them. I'd rather we not forsake something that was for so long held to a high standard simply because we have a society that is eager to toss aside the principles that led it to where it got today.

I'm not gonna do the septagon quote by sentence thing due to laziness.

Sorry to say, but you don't need to investigate every individuals life. If a gay couple are together and living next door, it doesn't suddenly make you less safe or in a more crazy world. Hell aside from saying hello to your neighbors and occasionally helping them out with something, you probably won't know much about them, ESPECIALLY their love life. It's not something you should worry about at all, just like I doubt you worry about the married couple across the street from you right now.

Haven't mentioned a morally right thing? Well considering you're so ready to say everyone who is gay = a degenerate, I'm not sure much of what I say CAN be seen as legit in your eyes. Even though I mentioned our constitution, equal protection under the law, everyone being treated fairly (which you know is not the case at all with the LGBT community, especially in work places).

I mentioned that it's the right thing to do and we don't have any right to say who can and cannot love each other. It doesn't affect you at all, so why should you so up in arms about it? You're just coming off as some close minded bigot, casting everyone who is gay as evil or wrong.

And biased views? Buddy I thought I was straight until around 4 years ago, and the gay friends I mentioned I only met around 2 years ago. My uncle being gay growing up didn't make me question it at all because he was rarely around and I was too young to even understand the significance of being gay and straight.

I grew up somewhat religious, going to church until I was 10, but thankfully I never got anything shoved down my throat that I should hate an entire group of people because of who they are. The swinger thing isn't something I have a problem with, gay OR straight. It's your own personal business what you do with your partner, as long as both of you are on the same page.

Going back to the morally right thing about gay marriage, I've not seen you mention why it's wrong other than gays = bad or "marriage is an old tradition we should keep" simply for the sake of keeping it. Regardless of which side you stand on, marriage in today's world isn't as big as it used to be. Culture has a lot to do with marriage, and it always has.

His opposition was to the Supreme Court effectively writing legislation, co-opting the democratic process for the sake of a popular decision rather than a constitutional one. His issue was with the means rather than the end. Being angry about the Supreme Court decision is not at all tantamount to being homophobic.

In most instances, yes, they harbor degenerate tendencies. And I told you, they have all the abilities that straight couples do under the law, just because it doesn't have state marriage attached to it in name does not change that. People are free to act how they want, the government cannot infringe on that unless it is directly harmful to another individual. There is nothing wrong with being refused work because of an affiliation you have, it happens all the time because of political affiliations, hobbies, etc.

Yes, you did repeat that as many times as it was asserted that Barrack Obama knows exactly what he's doing. I told you that it does effect me, everything that is done society by an individual has an effect on society in some manner, the more that cause a certain action the larger the effect on society.  I can just as easily cast aside your argument as you're some close minded bigot that' s saying all gays are perfect wonderful people that need everything we can give them and anyone that disagrees is horrible. See how that works?

My uncle being gay growing up didn't make me question it at all because he was rarely around and I was too young to even understand the significance of being gay and straight.
Can't imagine where that change in identity came from, I'm sure your uncle didn't have any effect on you at all, you're right. It's not like the presence of certain figures and family attitudes towards things shape a person.

Darling, going to church does not make one religious. Only God knows the ludicrous amount of people that go to church and then get themselves drunk and do other degenerate things. Clearly you didn't pick up on anything if you did go to church, or your church was one of those "anything goes" protestant types where all the sexually degenerate things Christ forbid are conveniently ignored. Again, I clearly said that it does have an effect, but feel free to ignore that.

Regardless of which side you stand on, marriage in today's world isn't as big as it used to be. Culture has a lot to do with marriage, and it always has.
Marriage is a sacred tradition symbolizing the union of a man and a woman into that of one flesh in the eyes of God. This harkons back to Genesis where God crafted woman out of Adam's rib. This tradition helps keep society together by ensuring that the man and woman will remain together to bear and raise offspring properly, and not subject them to the turmoil of missing a mother/father figure, among other things. State marriage is recognizing this tradition and applying the economic benefits to it to help it along, really simplifying it. Gay marriage would require a union of the flesh in the eyes of God(impossible) then being applied to the state to give the allotted economic relations for it. There is nothing stopping a gay couple from going through the work to get those same economic relations, but it cannot be marriage.

Please refer to my previous comment about how the degradation of our society should have no impact on how marriage continues to work.
