He Probably Choked on His Own Bile

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died at age 79.

I have noted over the past few years (see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here) excessive levels of bile have appeared to produce neurological complications.

The Republicans are already saying that the next SCOTUS nomination should be put off until after the elections, which is no surprise.

I really do not think that they have anything to worry about though:  I cannot see the Obama administration selecting someone in less than 3 months, at which point there will not be time.

While I do understand that the friends and family of Antonin Scalia, including Justice Ruth  Bader "Notorious RBG" Ginsburg, are mourning their loss, the fact that a partisan hack who had stopped caring has left the court is a net plus for the people of the United States.
