Deeply Saddened by Scalia's passing

charlese

I am very deeply saddened by the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. A dedicated jurist who firmly believed the TEXT of the Constitution and the law were the most important thing.

Although I have avoided political banter, we will most probably hear much political banter in the near future, but now is only a period of mourning.

He will be sorely missed!

I wholeheartedly agree. His wisdom, as a Supreme Court Justice, will be missed.

I agree that he will be missed. Additionally, Obummer will now have an opportunity to pick an anti-American justice to give the anti-Constitution liberals control of the SCOTUS for the foreseeable future. :(

Thank you, Chuck. I agree completely!

Guys, how about we let the politics be set aside,

at least until Justice Scalia is laid to rest.

Scalia was one of the few true Statesmen in an era of sleazy government. He was always willing to stand up for the Constitution when the majority of the Feds wanted to gut it.

If only that were possible. Obama has already said he will appoint a successor.

Is that not the President's job to do? What do you expect him to do? Like him or not, he was elected by a healthy majority of the voters. When his term is up, he will move on for better or worse, the way it's always been. In the meantime, respect the office. I was not a George Bush fan as far as his presidency, but he did get my respect.

Rant over. Now let's just respect the legacy of our deceased Justice.

Thanks, Chris.

Do we really need to do this.

Whether you liked or disliked Justice Scalia, his passing should not be used as a reason to jump on the band wagon.

Let the man rest in peace, at least until after the funeral.

Let's go for at least two weeks of silence on the subject. Can we do that, please.

The problem I was trying to prevent, was the chance this thread could be shut off,

like almost ALL political threads here, are.

Can we at let this rest, until Justice Scalia rests?

Sorry Dusty, didn't see this, before I posted my previous.

Oh, I agree 100% Except we should continue to talk about the

passing of a decent man.

There is no doubt in my mind that he is indeed at peace!

I am sorry for his family, and his friends. I do believe that many of the photos that I have seen of him through the years, he has almost always had a smile on his face. As I began to hear folks speak of him, he found humor in many places and that's commendable.

I am trying to turn over a new leaf here, especially since I did use Community for Political things that the Admin killed. So with that said I agree with all said, lets lay it a week and then as I guess most here are conservatives, and if so, lets respect the Liberals here, and vice a versa.

Once a very wise man told me, at your work place dont talk religion, politics, and who you sleep with.
