1. Leave the thread to talk about a charismatic man that served his country with honor.

2. Start a new thread discussing the politics of selecting a new SCJ, without mentioning the passing of Justice Scalia.


About the man:

They say he and Ginsberg were the best friends of the SCJs

Father of 9 that passed after returning from a hunting trip at 79

His decentions were always a good read and were better than his affirmations

(Note:  I swear on my life there is no sarcasm in this post.  I mean exactly what I am saying.  After I typed it I realized it could come off as an attempt at dark humor. It is not that at all)

I'll admit I know very little about him as a human being.  No matter who I disagree with or agree with I tend to assume they have SOMEONE in their personal lives that loves them.  For them I feel bad.

On the other hand, like when a celebrity dies, I can't wring out any emotion since they are not part of my family/circle and lots of people died yesterday but only one or two get headlines made about it.

Good thoughts to his family and friends.
