A great jurist and a pillar of American Conservatism has passed.
Justice Antonin Scalia, whose transformative legal theories, vivid writing and outsize personality made him a leader of a conservative intellectual renaissance in his three decades on the Supreme Court, was found dead on Saturday at a resort in West Texas, according to a statement from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. He was 79.
“He was an extraordinary individual and jurist, admired and treasured by his colleagues,” Chief Justice Roberts said. “His passing is a great loss to the Court and the country he so loyally served.”
The cause of death was not immediately released.
Of course, when bad things happen to conservatives, you can always count on the hate left to reveal their heartless, black souls.
Fuck “speak kindly of the dead.” Scalia was a monster. His death should be celebrated by everyone fighting for a truly just society.

Sad for the loss of Scalia.
Happy for the lives that’ll be saved by the new 5-4 majority.— John Fugelsang (@JohnFugelsang) February 13, 2016
