Will we ever know what happened?

In September of 2013, (click here) I interviewed Antonin Scalia for this magazine. He spoke memorably of many things — his belief in the Devil in particular — but the line that remains with me these 21 months later, the one I remember with precise grammatical accuracy and the wistful tone in which it was spoken, is this, in which he refers to himself in the third person: “Maybe the world is spinning toward a wider acceptance of homosexual rights, and here’s Scalia, standing athwart it.”...
People are talking about the open seat on the Supreme Court already?
That isn't right. The man isn't even cold.
I don't want to hear it. President Obama has an obligation to return function to the Supreme Court. His nominee needs to be able to defend the Executive Branch and the Executive Branch agencies. He needs to do that soon.
Honestly!
There is no guarantee to any political balance on the court. Their decisions should not be political anyway. I am sure Justice Scalia would agree with that. No one knows what is going to happen in November and not one will be guaranteed any balance. President Obama has to forward with his third nomination to the Supreme Court.
Mitch McConnell is corrupt. His immediate reaction about postponing a nomination is completely corrupt. Witness, America, the irreverence and corruption of the Republican Party.
I am to hear he died. That is a loss for the country.
