Via the New York Times:
Justice Antonin Scalia, whose transformative legal theories, vivid writing and outsize personality made him a leader of a conservative intellectual renaissance in his three decades on the Supreme Court, was found dead on Saturday at a resort in West Texas, according to a statement from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. He was 79.
“He was an extraordinary individual and jurist, admired and treasured by his colleagues,” Chief Justice Roberts said. “His passing is a great loss to the Court and the country he so loyally served.”
The cause of death was not immediately released.
In the Quaker tradition, I hold him in the Light.
Those happy ending are dangerous for a man that age.
I find it sad that the nation will not take time to morn and give his family and friends time to grieve. A man who spent most of his life serving his country.
May all our hearts go out to his family.
You get back what you put out.
