Justice Scalia Dead We’ve just learned that Justice Antonin Scalia has been found dead at a Texas resort. He was 79. Scalia was a stalwart conservative who consistently looked at the actual words of the Constitution and the intent of the Founders in every decision he made. His passing is not only tragic for his family and those who personally knew and loved him, it has grave, obvious implications for the future of the Republic. With his passing there are now four committed liberals on the Supreme Court, three conservative justices and Justice Kennedy. President Obama will undoubtedly attempt to solidify his legacy by appointing a fifth left-wing justice, which means that a new conservative president would face a hostile court ready to strike down initiatives on issues ranging from immigration to the sanctity of life. For now we grieve the passing of this great man. On Tuesday I will report to you in detail why the Senate must refuse to confirm any new justice on the eve of the presidential election that will decide the future of our country. Please join Carol and me in prayer for Justice Scalia’s family and our future. * * * * *
