Show more respect for Scalia

Couldn’t partisans on both sides have waited even a few hours after learning of the death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia before starting to fight about his replacement? Instead, nine minutes after a San Antonio newspaper tweeted about Scalia’s death, a conservative publication responded that “the Senate must refuse to confirm any justices in 2016.” Members of Congress began weighing in minutes later. How disrespectful. – Phillip Brownlee
