Scalia suffered from many health problems, court’s doctor writes

“We remember his incisive intellect, his agile wit and his captivating prose”, the chief justice said.

“At the expense of embarrassing him”, he said, ” I can honestly say that as beat up as I was when I got there with the workload, I don’t know how I would have gotten through it, if he hadn’t been there”, Thomas said.

That’s not how it works for Democrats.

Question: What kind of person would you like to see nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court?

Chief Justice John Roberts memorialized the late Justice Antonin Scalia from the bench Monday praising his “irrepressible spirit” and calling him “our man for all seasons” – and then the chief pivoted.

Conservatives have created a vast network through The Federalist Society “dedicated to reforming the current legal order”. Even if the election had already taken place, and a Republican had been elected but not yet inaugurated, the sitting president would have no constitutional obligation to surrender his authority, and wait until a president of the opposition party takes office. Alito was nominated by President George W. Bush in 2005, and began serving on the bench the following year. “No More Souters” became the boisterous chant of disappointed conservatives.

Seidman’s vitriolic emails calling Justice Scalia a “bigot” were sent, according to Above the Law, to “the entire student body at Georgetown Law, some 2000 students”.

Democrats argue that Republicans are threatening to politicize the Supreme Court. “I will miss that”, Carter Phillips, who’s argued more Supreme Court cases than any other lawyer in private practice, told Business Insider in an email after Scalia’s death.

At the “appropriate time”, the court will hold its own memorial service, Roberts said. “He is an Italian-American, a Roman Catholic, who would be the first Italian ever nominated – a tremendous achievement for what is America’s largest ethnic minority, not yet fully assimilated into the melting pot – a minority which provides the GOP its crucial margins of victory in New Jersey, Connecticut and NY”.

In cases where the court divides evenly, the decision of the lower court stands and no national precedent is set.

Two, the president can appoint during the Senate recess.

Kirk, who is up for reelection, announced his position in an op-ed for the Chicago Sun-Times more than a week after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the vacant seat should be filled by the next president.

Audio of the oral arguments can be found on www.supremecourt.gov when posted in the coming days.

In the Citizens United vs. the Federal Election Commission in 2010, the Supreme Court overruled the limitations on nonprofits and individuals donating to political campaigns, something previous court decisions upheld.

The outcome of this case will hinge upon the Court’s interpretation of the statute.

“He prevailed, establishing a ideal record before the court”, Roberts said to laughter.

Again, that is not true.

The case he eventually would argue before the Supreme Court was first filed by Mr. Lefstein in May 1984. The most famous one, inevitable discovery, doesn’t apply here, because there was no way that the drugs would’ve been found on Strieff if he hadn’t been stopped.

Rohde said that the Democrats may use the vacancy to relate to policy issues as a method of encouraging voter turnout among black voters, in an attempt to attain similar turnout to what Obama received among that demographic in 2012.
