The news which drew seemingly quick conclusions that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had died of “natural causes” this weekend, has prompted calls for an autopsy and toxicological reports. The president of the Americans for Legal Immigration political action committee William Gheen, noted the media’s “rush” to proclaim Scalia’s death in a rented room in a resort in Texas as either “natural causes” or heart attack just hours after the discovery of his body. Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, who pronounced Scalia dead, said no autopsy was necessary.

With the passing of Justice Scalia, the media has embarked on a frenzy of speculation about the political battles that are part and parcel of the President nominating a replacement Supreme Court justice.

The judicial reasoning of most recent and current Supreme Court Justices emerges from one central principle:

If a law produces, or seems likely to produce, an outcome that right-thinking people deem socially desirable, then that law is ipso facto constitutional; by contrast, if that law produces, or seems likely to produce, an outcome that right-thinking people deem socially undesirable, then that law is ipso facto unconstitutional.

Senior U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, the longest serving  judge of  the Supreme Court has been found dead at a luxury resort in west Texas. According to reports the 79-year-old conservative judge died of natural causes on Saturday during a hunting trip. The Telegraph reports: His body was found when he did not appear for breakfast at ranch in West Texas, according to local reports. KVIA, a TV station, said he had reported feeling unwell after a day of quail hunting on Friday. A conservative, he was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan.
