I have the same thoughts. Sure, he was 79 - but the timing....is a real kick in the gut. Just like Breitbart's untimely death, I'll always have questions about that.
Right now, my biggest concern is that the GOP will blow this.
Truly a very sad time for our nation. Sorry, but I see foul play on this one ... agreed the timing is very convenient. Hussein's executive orders; 2nd amendment and amnesty are currently before SCOTUS for ruling. I see it that Hussein will push for a quick replacement for Scalia with a liberal and the RINO's in the Senate will gladly oblige. Then he will push for an immediate ruling on his executive orders. The new liberal SCOTUS will rule in Hussein's favor; amnesty insures the DEM vote!! They will rule in favor of Hussein's executive order on the 2nd amendment.
With Trump leading in the polls and Cruz in second -- the DEMS knew that the writing was on the wall. They knew that if Cruz got in, not only would he shake up Washington but he would place the most conservative justices that he could and the liberal progressive agenda would end. Trump has taken conservative viewpoints, and I think they see him as a threat as well. RIP Justice Scalia!
Please PRAY for a miracle!
