PBS here is now showing "Supreme Revenge". Just walked in and it was on...

McConnell (along with Graham) held a grudge since Bork, and Merrick Garland was his revenge. Around the time of Bork was also the beginnings of the Federalist Society, Scalia, and other rightwing actors.

Glad I was already recording it.

3. I still think Scalia was murdered. Not sure why I think so. Just my feeling.

Scalia suffered from coronary artery disease, obesity, diabetes and other ailments, according to a letter from his Supreme Court doctor.

New details about discovery of Scalia's body, his many health issues released
Presidio County District Attorney Rod Ponton told the Associated Press there was nothing suspicious about Scalia's death and cited a letter from Rear Adm. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician for members of Congress and the Supreme Court.
The Feb. 16 letter said Scalia's many "significant medical conditions led to his death," Ponton said.

Monahan listed ailments including "sleep apnea, degenerative joint disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and high blood pressure," the AP said. Scalia was also a smoker, the letter said.

"All seemed to be in order," he wrote. Scalia was face-up on the bed, covered with sheets up to his chin. Both of his hands were "resting at his side."

A hose for the breathing machine was found on the left side of Scalia's bed, but was not attached to him
