1. good

[Iliyah]

2. YAY!

[Orrex]

3. Golly! I wonder how Scalia would have ruled.

Every day that his vile, festering body lies dead in the cold embrace of eternity is a magnificent day to be alive.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. It is a shame to see someone really hold back and mince words.

[Jitter65]

4. Yeah!!! How long will the Rebubs continue to block Obama's nominee????

Not long.

[rurallib]

5. Who was that idiot that said Scalia should still be able to vote

despite being dead?
Wonder if he will put that thought out there again after this?

[Uponthegears]

6. While this may not have been unexpected

it is nonetheless music to my ears.

THANK YOU my friend for bringing it to us.

[Vinca]

7. Without a 9th judge, the court is backfiring on Republicans. Karma.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

8. I like my instant more liberal SC. Thanks Scalia!

10. But saddly ,, sets no precedence

since is a split vote

[NightWatcher]

11. Scalia's death is already paying off!

[dbackjon]

12. Unions - another reason winning the White House in November is paramount

[Plucketeer]

16. You mean winning it BACK, no?

Cause the current administration never COULD find shoes that allowed them to join a picket line. Of course, we DO have a contender who's demonstrated that they knows how to heft a sign and join in.

Scumlia's death was a literal breath of fresh air for humanity. I smiled when I first heard of it.

[AtheistCrusader]

13. Hoist by their own petard.

14. It's probably going to be a mixed bag RE: rulings.......

until another Justice is confirmed. But that's not necessarily bad as this confirms. Sometimes you just have to stop things when they're going in a bad direction. Doing "something" is not a good thing if that "something" keeps pushing things to the right. That's an outlook that I'm not sure Obama or Clinton ever really understood.

[Amimnoch]

15. Well, until a certain constituency withholds their GE vote.

Possibly allowing a President Trump pick who fills Scalia's shoes.

But, of course.. that's just "fear mongering" and has nothing to do with the reality of how our government works.

17. Unions Win Fee Victory as Supreme Court Ties 4-4.
