Constitutional giant Antonin Scalia has passed away this week, and while many immediately turned toward the prospects of his replacements, less interest has been placed on the great influence that we have lost.
As the court’s most devout defender of the constitution, Antonin’s passing may very well mark the passing of the Constitution’s role as the central document through which each decision must be weighed.
With Scalia’s death, the court has been turned over its now-liberal majority, and their belief that the constitution contains what they think it ought to contain, rather than what it actually says.
Scalia often proved this point with the cutting style for which he was well known. When confronted by people who morally oppose the judge’s decisions, Scalia would respond in a way that made clear the distinctions of want and constitutional need, “I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged,” he once said. He never did, however, make sexual orgies a legal requirement.
In his Obergefell v. Hodges dissent, he accused the liberal judges that made up the majority of not respecting that distinction, claiming their position lacked even the “thin veneer of law.”
The loss of Antonin Scalia further explains the tragic loss for constitutionalists across the country. MoveĀ on to the next page:
Never! Give me liberty or give me death!
A vote on Scalia’s replacement should only go ahead after Obama is buried.
There is no requirement to fill Scalia’s seat on the Supreme Court. The Constitution doesn’t require 9 justices. The Senate, not the President, determines how many justices there will be. Ask FDR, he thought he had control of the Court, as well. The Senate can, if they so choose, reduce the number of justices to 7 and have no vacancy to fill, even after the next justice leaves. The President has no say. They don’t have to consider the President’s nominee. 24 times in the last 240 years, the Senate has not considered the nominee. It is about time the Senate stood firm and told Obama no more. No more capitulation, no more comprimise, no more knuckling under, no more heading this country in the wrong direction, and no more nominees confirmed, period. Obama doesn’t have to get his way and no Executive Order will change that.
NOT IF WE DONT LET IT HAPPEN !!!!!.
Then OBAMA did kill him now that makes sense
