Sad news indeed. While we disagreed on many issues, Justice Scalia was a brilliant man & a great son of Queens w/ a genuine joy for life.

Saddened by Justice Scalia's passing. The next President must nominate successor that upholds constitution, founding principles.

Justice Scalia's views,often dissenting, destroyed the pretension of leftwing efforts to eliminate the American system of constitutional law

J. Scalia email to law clerk who declined to go to church w/ him: "I shall tell the Creator of the Universe you were too busy to see him."

It would be easier not to "politicize someone's death" if they didn't hold a position with a lifetime appointment.

The totally unexpected loss of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is a massive setback for the Conservative movement and our COUNTRY!

I hope Scalia left provisions for a linen "winding-sheet," and a barrel of cider for his pallbearers, as the Founding Fathers intended.

The funniest part of the Scalia news report is this sentence: “When he did not appear for breakfast, people became concerned."
