Don't Justices receive SS protection ?

I'm wondering if the SS was in on Scalia's murder.

Lets not do the conspiracy shit on this. Scalia was amongst close friends, an extremely private hunting club is what they call it.
His doctor had even told Scalia he was a walking heart attack in so many words.
The claim of his being smothered was pure BS, the pillow was behind his head, not over his face, meaning he was not sleeping comfortably, probably due to a heart attack.

We were all sad to see his passing, but there is no evidence of murder, even the family let the autopsy slide because they knew his health was quickly running out.

Not trying to feed into any conspiracy theory but simply looking at the very unfortunate timing of his death; during the primary before the general election. When I heard of his death the very first thing that entered my mind was foul play.

Webb Hubbell, Ron Brown and Vince Foster do come to mind among the many convenient deaths which became associated with the Clintons. Put nothing past those two.

I agree. Obama is no dummy. He saw the numbers in the senate and had to know an appointment with less than a year in his term would go nowhere.

Not to mention we controlled both Houses which stopped the left in their tracks.
Sadly it was his time and America suffered for it. Now it's up to Trump to keep his word.

I bet the democrats are regretting the nuclear option now...

Remember democrats were for it before they were against it.

What, with McConnel there to immediately take it off the table as an option?

back to the Ted Cruz for SCOTUS idea.

IMO, anytime we can transfer a solid constitutional conservative from a temporary position (ie. elected) to a lifetime position, we ought to do it.  The big PLUS, Texas should have no trouble finding a good, replacement for Ted's senate seat.

The reverse is also a good idea, offer Mitch McConnell an ambassadorship to Argentina or Columbia (to get him out-of-the-way)... tell him, "Hey, Mitch, why wouldn't you wanna spend winters in a nice warm climate instead of frigid DC...?  and, you know American Dollars go a long way in Argentina, you could live like a KING!"

Promote people from Conservative states and they're likely to be replaced with another conservative - you have increased your position.

I hope he isn't that stupid.

How would a Leftist Dim act? That's what McCon will do.
