Thanks, BTD for posting this. I hadn't seen the news when I posted the open thread. I just wrote a post on it but in the meantime, you got this post up, so I just deleted mine. Here's what I said:
How absurd that conservatives are suggesting President Obama should forego nominating a replacement for Justice Anton Scalia and let the next president do the honors. Obama put the kabosh on such nonsense tonight. He will (and should) name Scalia's replacement.
How did Justice Scalia die? I'm not seeing a cause of death yet (I've only been online a few minutes, and would not have known Justice Scalia died but for the comments in our open thread.)
