re: #10 Kragar
What are the odds that an overweight 79 year old man just “drops dead”?
Obviously Obama is to blame
Actually, AFAICR, Scalia was one of those Justices for whom the ups and downs of any health issues he might/might not have had wasn’t fodder for the glorified gossip-columns that pass for political reportage in this country. His health, whenever the subject came up, was generally thought to be OK. Unlike, say, Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Anthony Kennedy: every cold or dizzy spell is taken as an impending visit from The Reaper (whom we know keeps to his own schedule!).
