Good riddance
It's about fucking time.
At least we've finally seen the end of perhaps the most corrupt person ever to sit on the Supreme Court, and the one with the least respect for the rule of law. Don't expect me to spend one second feeling anything but thrilled and relieved that this malignant fascist has gone to his eternal punishment. The only sad thing is that he didn't die in prison, which is where he has belonged at least since he joined four other corrupt Republican Justices to make George W. Bush President.
Of course, this monster hasn't been dead more than a few hours, and Republicans are already screaming that Obama has no right to appoint a successor, for reasons that we hardly need mention. And we all know that even if he appointed Jesus Christ himself, the Republicans are going to do everything they can to frustrate him, so in the chance that a Republican is elected President, we can have another crook on the Supreme Court to replace Scalia.

Were you also rejoicing after 9/11?
Rufus Wheeler Peckham, anyone?
(He's the author of Lochner, and hated government regulation except for Jim Crow laws.)
He did call balls and strikes, just like legendary 19th century umpire <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=UyUNlDsfSaYC&pg=PA28&lpg=PA28&dq=%22dick+higham%22&source=bl&ots=SFV73-K9Df&sig=fisGNzwcGQ2rVLAin08y9Lit8Mw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi91bufx_bKAhXEdj4KHRvYDFk4ChDoAQgjMAI#v=onepage&q=%22dick%20higham%22&f=false>Dick Higham</a> did.
Somehow, when I think of Scalia, Higham's the only MLB umpire that comes to mind.
"and Republicans are already screaming that Obama has no right to appoint a successor"
Of course that's not what the Republicans are saying. Leave it to you to lie about what they said. What a dishonest, hate filled, lying asshole you are.
