Obama Cracks Scalia Death Joke

How? The body was immediately embalmed.

actually, i dont believe that he died because of natural cases .. this case must be investigated properly..

A reminder how easy it was for harpy clinton to lie in the face of the families...


It don't know if it was a murder but the timing of his death is amazingly, suspiciously convenient.

Scalia murdered? Sealed his fate 4 days before his death?


Four days before he died, Supreme Court Justice Scalia voted to stall Obama’s plan to force drastic climate-change rules on the American economy. The vote was 5-4.

With Scalia now gone, the vote would be 4-4.

With a new Obama Supreme Court appointee, if Obama could ram his choice through, the vote would be 5-4 in the President’s favor. Ditto, if the next President shares Obama’s position. And the climate-change agenda would roll ahead.

We’re not talking about small climate-change rules. We’re talking about the Big Ones.

And note: such rules could very well dovetail with the Brave New World spelled out in the upcoming TPP (the Trans-Pacific Partnership).

It’s a wedge formation, a squeeze play, a pincer movement featuring new EPA climate-change regulations on one side, and new draconian possibilities embedded in the TPP.

If Scalia was murdered, the above agenda was sufficient reason, because the climate agenda has the force to transform life on the planet.

If Scalia’s murder were a movie, he would have been told, as a warning: “You have no idea how big this thing is; you really don’t understand the forces you’re messing with.”

Of course, most Americans don’t believe a political murder along this line could happen in real life. They can only accept it in a movie, where it makes perfect sense. That tells you something about the schizoid nature of the public mind.

The sickening tributes    across the official US political and media spectrum to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died suddenly on Saturday at the age of 79, are a barometer of the putrefaction of American democracy.

The universal deference towards Scalia from what passes for the “liberal” faction of the establishment is particularly repulsive. The statements of the Democratic presidential candidates, the supposed “socialist” Bernie Sanders no less than Hillary Clinton—echoing similarly sycophantic drivel from the likes of the New York Times—are monuments to political cowardice.

One would say these people lack the courage of their convictions if they had any convictions to lack!

They have sprung into action to join their Republican counterparts in hailing Scalia as a towering figure in American jurisprudence. Virtually every description of the deceased justice includes the words “brilliant” and “intellectual.” One is reminded of the programmed acclamation of Sergeant Raymond Shaw recited by his brainwashed fellow soldiers in the film The Manchurian Candidate: “Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.”

Sanders took time off from his hollow calls for a “political revolution” to demonstrate his political obeisance to the ruling class, declaring, “While I differed with Justice Scalia’s views and jurisprudence, he was a brilliant, colorful and outspoken member of the Supreme Court.”

Clinton praised Scalia as “a dedicated public servant who brought energy and passion to the bench.”

President Obama called Scalia a “towering legal figure.” The New York Times’ Ross Douthat hailed Scalia for “putting originalist principle above a partisan conservatism,” and for his “combination of brilliance, eloquence, and good timing.”

No one dares say what needs to be said. The object of their veneration was a black-robed thug and sadist who used his position on the bench to attack the basic civil liberties laid down in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights—separation of church and state; due process; protection from arbitrary arrest, search and seizure; the right to trial by jury; protection from cruel and unusual punishment; the right to vote.

His supposed juridical brilliance boiled down to starting with the political outcome he desired (invariably reactionary) and then cobbling together pseudo-legal arguments to justify his ruling—often with flagrant disregard for legal precedent and the unambiguous language of statutes and constitutional provisions.

In one case last year, Scalia argued that a police officer did not use “deadly force” when he climbed onto an overpass and used an assault rifle to kill an unarmed man fleeing in a car. According to Scalia’s reasoning, it was not deadly force because the officer claimed to have been aiming at the car, not the person in the car.

Perhaps the most infamous example of this method—absurdly described in the media as “constitutional originalism”—was the 2000 Supreme Court decision Scalia engineered to halt the counting of votes in Florida and hand the White House to the loser of the election, Republican candidate George W. Bush.

The 5-4 decision to steal the election all but acknowledged its own speciousness when it declared that the justifications it advanced could not be applied to any future cases. In his separate concurring opinion, Scalia declared that the Constitution did not give the people the right to elect the president.

At the time of the theft of the 2000 elections, the World Socialist Web Site wrote that the Supreme Court’s decision to stop the counting of votes, and the acceptance of that ruling by the Democrats and the entire political establishment, demonstrated that there was no longer any significant constituency for democratic rights within the American ruling class. The reaction to Scalia’s death is a measure of the further erosion of democratic sentiment in the ruling elite.

Scalia personified the decay of bourgeois democracy in the United States over a protracted period of time. Appointed to the bench by Ronald Reagan, he flourished and exerted increasing influence in the decades of political reaction, militarism and Wall Street criminality that ensued, continuing without a hitch under Obama. Not only in the anti-democratic substance of his rulings, but also in his methods and bearing, he embodied the promotion by the ruling elite of backwardness, prejudice and outright cruelty.

He was corrupt and made no bones about his corruption, proudly voting to remove limits on corporate bribes in elections and flaunting his private outings with Vice President Dick Cheney while the latter was a party in a case before the court. He was a bully, making a practice of baiting and harassing lawyers who came before him.

Throughout his career, Scalia consistently advocated positions that can only be described as barbarous and fascistic. Fittingly, his last judicial act was to deny a stay of execution. He was a figure who relished the power and trappings of the state, openly defending torture and internment camps.

Scalia worked tirelessly to break down constitutional and democratic limits on state power, infiltrating fascistic doctrines into Supreme Court jurisprudence. His theory of executive power, according to which the American president has unlimited and unreviewable powers for the duration of the “war on terror,” resurrects Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt’s “state of exception” doctrine in all but name.

Scalia’s mere presence on the court testified to the advanced decay of American democracy. That decay is linked, on the one hand, to the extreme growth of social inequality, accompanied by the rampant parasitism and criminality of the ruling class, and on the other hand to unending war, which has its domestic reflection in the build up of the repressive state apparatus that Scalia championed.

The bitterness of the disputes over his replacement is a reflection of the importance of his role in American politics over three decades during which the political establishment shifted violently to the right.

The deference shown to such a figure from all quarters of the political establishment should be taken as a warning by the working class. The ruling elite fears above all the growth of social opposition and class struggle. It exalts the legacy of Scalia because it is preparing police state methods to defend its power and property against an insurgent working class.

yes, i always do this during sleeping but here is the controversy, i never die because of sleeping with a pillow on my head.. something is mysterious on this case and must be investigated..

Well, to be sharper:
All Wilikon threads are an Open Sesame of various informations from anywhere and of any nature that sometimes are pretty interesting even if most of the times it's just shitty articles that obviously try to confuse the reader without any precise source or informations ^^

All Wilikon threads are an Open Sesame of learning treasures...

 

Interesting... I didn't expect to learn anything new here

Looks like a recess appointment still needs to be confirmed by the end of the year for it to stick... so it would only be temporary

The only thing I'm worried about is how the Senate is going to be able to prolong the nomination from Obama...

Maybe he was playing the asphyxiation game.  Some people are in to that sort of thing.

Your right its not OBAMA ..when he was retiring OBAMA was in line for the job FACT..So not OBAMA

I had to take he got killed out because its not fact i don't know if he was killed BUT sure is fishy

OBAMA was in line for that job..

Could Barack Obama become a Supreme Court justice ...
www.csmonitor.com/.../Could-Barack-Obama-become-a-Supreme-Court...
27 Jan 2016 - Hillary Clinton said that President Obama would make a great Supreme Court justice. Is that possible?
Yes, President Obama

So it looks like Hilary becomes president then nominates Obama as supreme justice
Now the guy is dead its all messed up.

Will Texas Governor Call for Investigation into Scalia Death?



Over the weekend, Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s office sent out a somber condolence recognizing the late Associate Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Since the governor’s statement, additional information has come to light painting the circumstances surrounding Scalia’s death as anything but ordinary.

Scalia was a conservative-leaning judge known best for his adherence to the Constitution’s original interpretation. He fought against Planned Parenthood, supported private property rights and was a staunch pro-Second Amendment advocate.

Despite Scalia’s prominence, confusion still lingers over how he died.

Yesterday it was reported the justice was found dead at the Cibolo Creek Ranch in bed with a pillow over his head.

But Presidio County Judge Cinderella Guevara says the county sheriff on Saturday told her over the phone there was “absolutely not” any evidence of “foul play.”

Judge Guevara says she declined an autopsy based on the information, but later stated she recorded the death as being from natural causes, not from a heart attack, as she allegedly told WFAA news.

Within a few short hours, Scalia’s body was transported to a funeral home, embalmed and is now on its way to Virginia.

“As a former homicide commander, I am stunned that no autopsy was ordered for Justice Scalia,” a former District of Columbia criminal investigations head posted on Facebook Sunday.

Additionally, a justice of the peace speaking with The Washington Post said she would also have requested an autopsy.

“If it had been me . . . I would want to know,” Presidio Justice of the Peace Juanita Bishop told The Post.

Former U.S. Army intelligence officer turned journalist Ray Starmann also suspects foul play.

“The circumstances surrounding Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia’s death are growing more suspicious by the minute,” writes Starmann for USDefenseWatch.com.

“What was the cause of Scalia’s death? Was it a heart attack or death by natural causes?” asks Starmann, adding, “No one seems to know. The story keeps changing. How convenient… Who dies with a pillow over their head?”

While the Republican Texas governor has made no indication he intends to look into the justice’s death, in the past he has devoted state resources to monitor and investigate other controversial allegations.

    @JPAndreas1 @dhiggins63 @Rabid_Patriot I've actually feared this ugly scenario for years. Abbott should seize the scene and investigate.

    — Roger Ramjet (@RogerRamJet1776) February 14, 2016

Last April, for instance, the governor announced he would deploy the Texas State Guard to monitor the military’s Jade Helm training exercises, asserting he wanted to ensure Texans’ “safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties” would “not be infringed.”

    I've ordered the Texas State Guard to monitor Jade Helm 15 to safeguard Texans' constitutional rights, private property & civil liberties

    — Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) April 28, 2015

Last year, the governor also launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood following allegations the abortion provider was running an under-the-table, baby-part-for-profit scheme.

    I already sued Planned Parenthood for Medicaid Fraud. Now Texas will look into these organ harvesting claims. http://t.co/V5YxR20bsk

    — Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) July 14, 2015

At the start of the new year, Gov. Abbott also boldly promised to challenge any gun control legislation Obama may attempt to pass via executive order, challenging the president to “Come and take it.”

    Obama wants to impose more gun control. My response.#? COME & TAKE IT @NRA #tcot #PJNET https://t.co/RUPbcev5jY pic.twitter.com/8VNwisj966

    — Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) January 1, 2016

The governor’s record suggests he has the interests of the people in mind. Given his past actions and the strange circumstances surrounding the death, will Gov. Abbott dispatch a team to investigate the death of Antonin Scalia? Should he?

Michael Savage: ‘Was Scalia murdered?’


With confirmation that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead Saturday morning with a pillow over his head and his clothes unwrinkled, nationally syndicated talk-radio host Michael Savage called for an investigation on the level of the presidentially appointed probe into President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

“Was [Scalia] murdered?” Savage asked his listeners.

“We need a Warren Commission-like federal investigation,” he said. “This is serious business.”

Savage said an immediate autopsy of the body is needed.

“There was no medical examiner present. There was no one who declared the death who was there. It was done by telephone from a U.S. Marshal appointed by Obama himself,” he said.

In an essay posted on his website, Savage asked what would happen if Donald Trump were in the White House in his final year and the justice was Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“Do you think the left would be screaming that Donald Trump would have no right to appoint anyone to the Supreme Court? Do you think they would be demanding an autopsy and a full federal investigation?”

Listen to Savage’s comments during his interview with Donald Trump:

In an interview Monday with GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, Savage discussed the implications of Scalia's death.

"We had a razor-thin savior of the conservative, or, shall I say traditional, ways in America, Antonin Scalia, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances," he said. "And now this character in the White House who nobody with a rational mind should trust is trying to railroad Loretta Lynch down our throats ... as his number one choice. Can you believe this?"

Savage said somebody must stop Obama's nomination to the Supreme Court so the choice can be made by the new president.

"And I hope it's you," Savage told Trump.

Savage noted Scalia's role in the Supreme Court's Feb. 9 decision that temporarily blocks Obama administration rules to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.

"Donald, you know that just five, six days before Scalia was found dead with a pillow over his face, he was the lead voice against Obama's attempts to railroad that green gangsterism down our throats, he knocked it out? He was the one who did it."

The 79-year-old Scalia had been on a hunting trip at the Cibolo Creek Ranch in Presidio County, Texas.

Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, who pronounced Scalia dead, said the death certificate will say the cause of death was natural and that he suffered a heart attack.

She said she decided not to order an autopsy after Sheriff Danny Dominguez concluded there were no signs of foul play, reported WFAA News in Dallas. The Scalia family concurred.

“As part of my investigation, one of the things I did ask the sheriff and the U.S. Marshal: ‘Were there any signs of foul play?’ And they said, 'Absolutely not.' At that time, I still wanted to be careful, and asked them if [Scalia's] physician would call me,” Guevara said.

Guevara said she talked to Scalia's doctor in Washington, D.C., who told her Scalia had been sick and had visited his office Wednesday and Thursday before going on the hunting trip Friday.

According to Guevara, Scalia told his group Friday at dinner he was not feeling well and went to his room early. He then missed breakfast and lunch Saturday and was found unresponsive in his bed.

The owner of the Texas ranch and resort said Scalia died peacefully.

“The judge, when I found him Saturday morning, was in complete repose,” John Poindexter, the owner of Cibolo Creek Ranch in Marfa, Texas, told NBC News. “He was very peaceful in his — in the bed. He had obviously passed away with no difficulty at all in the middle of the night.”

Scalia, who was appointed to the high court by former President Ronald Reagan, was the longest-serving justice on the court, having taken his seat on Sept. 26, 1986.

Detectives question lack of autopsy in Scalia death


Veteran homicide investigators in New York and Washington, DC, on Monday questioned the way local and federal authorities in Texas handled the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

“It’s not unreasonable to ask for an autopsy in this case, particularly knowing who he is,” retired Brooklyn homicide Detective Patricia Tufo told The Post.

“He’s not at home. There are no witnesses to his death, and there was no reported explanation for why a pillow is over his head,” Tufo said. “So I think under the circumstances it’s not unreasonable to request an autopsy. Despite the fact that he has pre-existing ailments and the fact that he’s almost 80 years old, you want to be sure that it’s not something other than natural causes.”

Bill Ritchie, a retired deputy chief and former head of criminal investigations for the DC police, said he was dumbstruck when he learned that no autopsy would be performed.

“I took a look at the report and I almost fell out of my chair,” Ritchie told The Post from his home in Maryland.

“I used to be an instructor in the homicide school. Every death investigation you are handling, you consider it a homicide until the investigation proves otherwise,” Ritchie said.

“How do you know that person wasn’t smothered? How do you know it’s not a homicide until you conduct an investigation? You have to do your job. Once you go through that process, you can conclude that this is a naturally occurring death.”

Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara said she declared Scalia dead via telephone based on what cops and marshals at the scene told her — that there were no signs of foul play.

“How in the world can that Texas judge, not even seeing the body, say that this is a heart attack?” Ritchie wondered. “A US marshal can’t tell you. You need a medical professional. If this was Joe Blow, you say OK, 79 years of age, health problems, maybe natural causes. But this is a sitting justice of the Supreme Court!”

Guevara also spoke by phone with Scalia’s physician, who told her Scalia had several chronic medical conditions and had gone to the doctor’s last week for a shoulder problem, reports say.

Scalia’s family did not want an autopsy, she added.

Before Scalia’s Death, a Clash Between G.O.P. and Obama Over Appellate Judges

WASHINGTON — The vow by Senate Republicans to block whomever President Obama nominates to fill the sudden vacancy on the Supreme Court presages a prolonged election year struggle, but the clash is less a new front against the White House than an escalation of a battle that had begun at the appeals court level before Justice Antonin Scalia died.

Since Republicans took control of the Senate in January 2015, the process that would enable Mr. Obama to fill vacancies on the 12 regional federal courts of appeal has essentially been halted. Mr. Obama has managed only one appointment because Republican senators have refused to sign off ahead of time on nominees for judgeships in their states — a traditional step before a president makes a nomination.

In the weeks before Justice Scalia’s death, influential conservative groups and commentators called on Senate Republicans to ensure that Mr. Obama appointed no more appeals court judges.

It appears that the Senate is currently in recess, and he has about seven days to ram through a recess appointment.

For that, no confirmation is required.

I do. There are a lot fewer reasons to murder me though. Who the hell cares anyway? He had a good run even if it was brought short by sinister cabals or something.

I hope I'm not coming across as weird here, but I always sleep with a pillow on my head. I'll fall asleep on top of the pillow, but sometime during the night I end up putting it on my head.
