Scalia Dead

Both are hard to fathom but sexual compulsions, especially of a deviant nature, are incredibly strong. Just consider Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer. I find it much easier to believe that Thomas would disregard the risks to his career, such as it was at the time, to yield to his sexual impulses than to believe that, after long consideration, Anita Hill would come forward at the risk of her own future. The one act is insane and the other is courageous.

Anita Hill for SCOTUS!

This may be about to get very, very juicy!

"I did not pay for the Justice's trip to Cibolo Creek Ranch," Poindexter told the Post. "He was an invited guest, along with a friend, just like 35 others."

The ranch owner did not give the identity of Scalia's friend to the Post.

Poindexter also told the newspaper, "The Justice was treated no differently by me, as no one was charged for activities, room and board, beverages, etc. That is a 22-year policy.''

It's not clear what relationship Scalia and Poindexter shared or who else was at the ranch, but the Post reported that in 2015 the Supreme Court declined to hear a case about an age discrimination lawsuit against a subsidiary Poindexter's Houston-based manufacturing firm J.B. Poindexter & Co.

A "friend"?

Maybe the old boy died in the saddle?

Oh PLEASE let his "friend" be male.

I was really sorta hoping for auto-erotic asphyxiation.

And that could explain the "no autopsy" decision.

Now, there's a conspiracy theory with wheels.

Apparently, Obama is considering a recess appointment, but he'll need to act by Sunday.

I'd love to see him do it and watch wingnut heads explode across the land.

I think this stuff about some GOP Senators being willing to be open for hearings is a plot just to make the President wait until after Monday. I would do it and pray a Democratic Senate or Dem President takes over after January.

Am I insane but I was thinking Lindsey Graham might not be a bad choice...
at least he could not invade Iraq from the bench. I bet this GOP Senate might even throw roadblocks at him.

Yes, you are insane.

The right wing extremists have owned the Supreme court by a 5-4 margin for three decades now. We need to turn that around, not perpetuate it.
