The word on the street is the racist Loretta Lynch. Sure would finish off having the three stooges as his picks on the Supreme Court.
He's a disrespectful racist POS.
RIP Judge Scalia.

I agree, and for the record, I think Justice Scalia was murdered, yep.. I said it. Should have been more of an investigation into his death, not just sign off without even seeing the body then embalm him, JMO. |

Does anyone know if the family were close? Meaning is this something that they would fight for if they suspected or just be ok with whatever the government or Dr said.. IM sure they are in shock so might have just went along with what they suggested not thinking clearly

I have never liked him. He may have a good reason for not attending he may not, but how typical if he does have a valid reason to not give that reason just to create more political divide. Just once again goes to show the "great uniter" is nothing more than a pot stirring, game playing community activist. |

Seriously....do you really think a murderer would leave the pillow over his head???? I sleep with a pillow (and blankets) over my head. I guess if I die, they can accuse my husband of killing me....lol...
Additionally, he had been to the Dr. TWICE that week with not "feeling well".....he left the gathering that night because he wasn't feeling WELL....IMO, the family did not ask for an autopsy because he HAD health problems.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I'm not spreading " misinformation". I simply think it is entirely appropriate to expect an autopsy to be performed because we do not know the cause of a sudden, unexpected death in one of the most consequential Justices in Supreme Court history. This was a very important, powerful man who led a pretty vigorous life, for his age. He had been out hunting. Pronouncing him dead over the phone is one thing, but having a coroner examine the body at the scene and then ordering an autopsy should have been automatic. There is a whole host of causes of death that cannot be determined by simply looking at the body on a bed, some of which are not natural. This is what a coroner is for.
If an autopsy is ordered by a coroner, for whatever reason, then the family has no say in the matter.
Nope....no tin hats here. I just want the truth and it makes sense to do the right and logical thing, given these circumstances, particularly in this day and age where suspicion and conspiracy theories rule the day. |

It's not misinformation that he plans to meet with Black Lives Matter (has time for that), the group whose motto begins with "What do we want, dead cops." Defend the fact also that when Obama was on vacation in Hawaii five servicepeople were killed in Afghanistan and as usual he couldn't make it off the beach or golf course to address this tragedy. |

Obama's refusal to attend the funeral service of this man is conspicuous and tacky. It's thumbing his nose at the citizens of this nation.
Let me ask you this, Karen; do you think he would attend the funeral of Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg?
For once I wish Obama could set aside his political agenda and do the classy thing. I guess I'm expecting too much. |

This is an interesting point. Mandela NEVER renounced terrorism as a means to a political end.
I always thought an autopsy was required to determine a cause of death in questionable cases. This one sure looks questionable to me.
As far as attending the funeral goes, It's not unprecedented for the president not to attend this function and I'm sure the late justice Scalia would just as soon not have him there to turn it into a political circus. He can rest easy knowing that lying POS won't be there..
RIP Sir..... |

Compeletly agree, do the autopsy, show it was natural causes, case closed..... no tin foil hats needed. A fifth grader would know Justice Scalia's sudden death was a big deal and there would be questions involved, put them to rest and be done with it would have been the right thing to do. |

Perhaps there is reason to be believe that the response to this event has been bungled by everyone surrounding it.
Remember, John Poindexter is an Obama Supporter. And was involved in The Iran Contra Scandal.
Reports have it that Poindexter was the caller who spoke to The J.P. in Marfa, Tx who declared Justice Scalia deceased w/o an autopsy over the phone.
That in and of itself is incompetent. Everything involved with The Current Administration and its supporters has been outwardly incompetent. Why should this be any different. Another question mark surrounding this event is Justice Scalia was traveling w/o security which from my research is unusual................ |

Family wishes are not considered in making this decision. Think about it. Say rich old grandpa has a big family and he is found dead, the same way Justice Scalia is found. The family refuses to do an autopsy. Imagine what this would open up if they were the final say?
Some greedy relative puts a pillow over grandpa's face and he dies. Without the ability to order an autopsy, a lot of people would get away with murder. Just whack rich old gramps, refuse autopsy, and collect your inheritance. |

In many states you would be correct an autopsy would be automatic. However in Texas a JP is given that power. In my state only the corner can do that. In my state a JP has vary little power other than marrying people. So what many see as odd it is not in Texas or so it seems .... go figure. |

Sheriff's statements.........
Meanwhile, Sheriff Dominguez has ruled out foul play that a pillow originally said to have been covering Scalia's head was in fact above it.
'He [Scalia] was just lying on the bed with a pillow above his head,' he said. 'Everything seemed normal and he was just there lying down. 'There was no sign of a struggle, no wrinkles in the cover or on the pillow either.'
He also hit out at the conspiracy theories that have sprung up in the wake of the Supreme Court Justice's death – and said the rush to politicize the death was 'disrespectful to the family'.
'It was totally routine,' he said. 'Everyone has their way of doing an investigation and we did it our way.
'I was told that he had been there and had been out hunting quail with his friends the day before. They said he had felt tired afterwards and went to bed around nine.'
He added: 'Those people in Washington, they got their theories and I got mine. They need to keep politics out of it.'
Asked why Judge Cinderela Gonzalez felt able to issue a death certificate stating Scalia died of natural causes without seeing the body or an autopsy carried out, he explained:
'If there's no suspicious circumstances, then that is allowed under Texas law. She made that decision after speaking with me and after making calls to his doctor and his family.

Maybe the President would have attended the funeral if Scalia would have attended the last few State of the Union addresses. What goes around comes around. The Obamas are paying their respects this evening and the Bidens will be attending. |

I am finding it curious about no autopsy as well. My aunt with known heart disease, had already had open heart surgery years ago, was found dead in her house. We, as the family, knew her health issues, knew it was most likely a heart attack, did not desire an autopsy but they did one anyway because no one was with her when she passed. She wasn't EVEN a prominent political personna either! |

I'm not suggesting it was unlawful to not order an autopsy. I'm simply suggesting that it is important to make an attempt to determine the actual cause of death of a very very important man.
This is not some random citizen here. We are witnessing the consequences of this sloppy conduct. We do NOT have a definitive cause of death, only a guess. That's simply unacceptable.
Let's say we had a president who had health issues like Eisenhower had. He had heart attacks while in office. Let's say he was found dead in bed. What are the chances he would NOT have an autopsy, even though he had known severe heart disease?
Answer: ZERO
The pillow is not an issue for me. I just want to know the cause of death....at least make a reasonable attempt. This just fans conspiracy flames, and I can see why. |

Maybe the President would have attended the funeral if Scalia would have attended the last few State of the Union addresses. What goes around comes around. The Obamas are paying their respects this evening and the Bidens will be attending.
Finney, that sounds about right. Basically, Obama was holding a grudge.....so to hell with doing the classy thing. To hell with the idea of rising above the fray. To hell with showing the world that we Americans set aside our petty political differences, and show the utmost respect to a very widely admired and respected jurist.
Shame on me for expecting this out of Obama. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | Where are you finding info that Obama will be attending his funeral? I have found nothing except this..
GOP softening position against Obama replacing Scalia?WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will visit the Supreme Court Friday to pay their respects as Justice Antonin Scalia lies in repose but won't attend Scalia's funeral. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday that Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden will attend the funeral on Saturday at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. Scalia died on Saturday at age 79. He joined the court in 1986 and was its longest-serving justice. Former Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who died in 2005, was the last member of the high court to lie in repose. Obama has said he will nominate a replacement for Scalia with "plenty of time" for the Senate to act.

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I'm still looking where it said Obama was attending the funeral. I hope Michelle and him don't get car sick on the long trip over to the Court for a drive by.
The White House announced Wednesday that President Obama will not attend Saturday’s funeral Mass for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia; instead, Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will pay their respects on Friday when Scalia's body will lie in repose at the court. (Vice President Joe Biden will attend the Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. ) This is a mistake. In 2005, I covered the funeral for Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist in Washington. Then-President George W. Bush not only attended, but he also delivered a eulogy, one of many tributes at the service. Given their political differences, it probably wouldn’t be appropriate for Obama to speak at Scalia’s funeral, and the family might not want him to participate in the ceremony. But he should attend. Even if he doesn’t spend Saturday golfing — a scenario raised by a reporter at a White House press briefing — Obama's absence amounts to a slight to the court’s longest-serving member, a justice the president himself described as “one of the most consequential judges and thinkers to serve on the Supreme Court.” It’s also is a dumb political move. By attending the funeral Obama would have underscored the importance of nonpartisanship when it comes to the court. That could only have helped him make the case that the Republican-controlled Senate has a duty to give fair consideration to the person he nominates to succeed Scalia. Unless the Scalia family let it be known that it didn’t wish Obama to attend — which seems inconceivable — the president’s decision makes no sense.

In one of his State of the Union addresses, Obama belittled the Supreme Court Judges in a most embarrassing fashion. I know it happened, just can't remember the circumstances. So why would Scalia want to return for further humiliation. |

Justice Antonin Scalia’s absence is no surprise. It was the 19th State of the Union in a row that he’s skipped since he considers the speech a “childish spectacle.”
And here is more about it..

Interesting article, NTO. Thanks.
So, it just show's Finney was desperately searching to rationalize Obozo's cowardice and total lack of a sense of decorum and class.
She failed miserably in her attempts. |

You suggested unequivocally that he was "bought". Do you have any evidence to back this up, or are you grasping at straws like Finney?
Also, was this case actually heard before the court? If you want to talk about people being "bought by the 1%", I'm game.....starting with Hillary and the Clinton La Cosa Nostra crime family.

There was no case in the court.
And it's a resort, not just a hunting ranch. It wouldn't be the first time the wealthy invited other wealthy and influential friends and acquaintences to one of their homes. Heck maybe they both love quail hunting and that was it. There are many celebrities and the mindboggling wealthy who spend a lot of time out here hunting and relaxing. |

Location: Colorado | Bear - 2016-02-18 10:05 AM Stitch4k9 - 2016-02-18 9:45 AM Thank you NJJ. Justice Scalia was 79, overweight and smoked. With a history of High BLOOD PRESSURE.
And the President and First Lady ARE attending Friday and the VP and Dr. Biden are attending on Sat.
Instead of blaming one person for every problem in this country we should look at those who purposely spread mis information.
karen Obama's refusal to attend the funeral service of this man is conspicuous and tacky. It's thumbing his nose at the citizens of this nation. Let me ask you this, Karen; do you think he would attend the funeral of Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg? For once I wish Obama could set aside his political agenda and do the classy thing. I guess I'm expecting too much.
Come on Doc. The Justice was 79 years old, over weight, smoked and had just been told his health was not good enough for shoulder surg.
The USA does not send the President and VP to the same event. That is why the President is going on Friday and the VP on Saturday. That is not refusal to go.
Although I did not agree with a Lot of Scalia's ideas I did respect the man. If people would pull the plank from their eye they could be as Scalia and Ginsburg were. Friends who often disagree but could rationally discuss issues.

We don't assume people die from things under these circumstances.
We have absolutely no evidence he died from anything. I know just a little more about this than you.
The fact that he and Justice Bader-Ginsburg were such great friends and mutual admirers is pretty admirable. If Bader-Ginsburg died tomorrow, he would attend her funeral, you can bank on it. Obama is incapable of rising above the fray......because he's a trashy ideologue whose only goal is to create chaos and divisions. Look around. |

Oh for crying out loud. Do you have no idea how the SC takes a case? It takes three Justices to agree to hear a case. This case did not receive three votes. You are implying that by Justice Scalia being invited to a party with 35 other people given by a businessman some how influenced the votes of the other eight justices REALLY!!!! As to the freebees as you say. It has been stated in many articles that the ranch owner gives these party's two or three times a year and does not CHARGE ANYONE has not in 22 years of doing this. Sounds right to me I have never charged my guests for a party that I have given but that's me maybe you do who knows. And if you would look up the case in question it WAS Not a vary important case and frankly should not have even reached the level of the SC probably why the court refused to hear it IMO. |

You do know that the decision not to hear that particular case was not a decision made by Justice Scalia alone right? And that it was one of many cases that our Supreme Court decided not to decide on? |

The way I understand it, the ruling of the last court to deal with it stands if the SC refuses to deal with it.
