Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died at the age of 79, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement on Saturday. The statement did not indicate the cause of death, but several news
outlets reported that he died of natural causes while in Texas this
weekend.Scalia was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to the Supreme Court in 1986.
It’s sobering to think that he may be the last genuine Constitutionalist to sit on the Supreme Court. One can only expect that he’ll be replaced by a black female Marxist.
Ross Douthat summed up the man well: “We should all die full of years, with 28 grandchildren, in our sleep after quail hunting.”
That is the sign of a life well-lived.
