I mean if you are arguing for letting Scalia vote from beyond the grave then why not just cut out the middle man and do what you think Marbury would want.

Al! posted:Scalia based his entire judicial career on his claim on the ability to read the thoughts of dead men, so this isn't entirely out of line with his character. Coincidentally in both cases it turns out the deceased agree with the erstwhile medium.

The only fair way is to let a highly qualified individual who was good friends with Scalia decide his original intent. Until the vacancy is filled RBG gets two votes in every case.

evilweasel posted:I think the better argument for why Scalia can't vote isn't that we don't know how he'd vote: it's that being a justice is a lifetime appointment. Once you're dead, you're not a justice anymore! That's not in the constitution. The constitution just says justices "hold their offices during good behaviour" and I think everyone can agree that Scalia's behaviour on that hunting trip was very good indeed. In the past we've kicked off dead justices because they stop showing up to decide cases, but if Scalia keeps on doing that from the beyond well

https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...13e8_story.html Scalia may have been a member of a secret order of hunters... weird. E. This is basically Assassins Creed IRL. climboutonalimb fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Feb 25, 2016 |

I think the evidence supports the claim that we live in a simulated universe that's broadcast as entertainment for the real universe. As such, they were definitely hunting human prey.

I just want to say that every couple days this thread reminds me that Antonin Scalia is rotting in the ground like the garbage he was, and it fills me with joy every time I think about it. I wish I could summon a bit of HST's talent from his Nixon obit to fully express my feelings on this matter. Burn in hell, Nino. As far as I'm concerned you got off lucky because there isn't one.

pangstrom posted:Masons and whatever you call moose lodge people aren't the same thing. Moose lodge isn't very anti-catholic but fine, go with Knights of Columbus or something. Point was it seemed just like another flavor of the old men fraternity and not the illuminati. "Just another flavor of the old men fraternity" is pretty much the textbook definition of the illuminati.

Well couldn't you just sneak in there and unplug the machine from the wall or do they have battery backup? I'm not asking because I believe it happened but these Scalia murder conspiracies are hilarious and I want more.

But with the strain on his heart from sleep apnea, smoking, and poor lifestyle choices it could have been just about anything related to the above at anytime.

WaPo's the first hit for this and they explain things a bit: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...an-be-dangerous In short there's like a *tiny* chance forgetting to use your CPAP one night will kill you, and slightly less tiny for an old guy with other health issues. Mostly this is just another reason to point and laugh at the Clinton Body Count crowd.

I've got a radical conspiracy theory for you guys: perhaps this 79 year old overweight man who smoked and had sleep apnea could conceivably have died of natural causes? After all, Scalia could have forgotten to take his daily dose of super secret magic potion that makes conservatives immune to natural deaths.

Yes, but the way the article I read was written, it sounded like the machine had not been used at all. That it was just sitting unplugged and unused on the side table. Either way, unplugging a CPAP would be a pretty impotent strategy to kill someone.

Autopsy report: "Unable to locate patient's heart. I extensively searched the peritoneum and mediastinum for potential ectopic placement, but could not locate the organ. Perhaps a more thorough dissection will reveal it to be in an extremity or even the cranial vault." Alternate joke: Why is that surprising? We all knew he was heartless.
