Politics aside, we should all die full of years, with 28 grandchildren, in our sleep after quail hunting. Antonin Scalia RIP.

Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.

McConnell: "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Justice." After all, Barack Obama was only elected twice.
