(But By God is it an awesome reactionNationally syndicated radio host Mark Levin joined a special edition of Breitbart News Daily this evening to discuss the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia with host Stephen K. Bannon.
I would count him as a top ten, maybe a top five of all time, and he wasnt even a Chief Justice, Levin said of the late Justice Scalia. This is a devastating loss for people who love this country. Its a devastating loss for those of us who love the Constitution, he added.
Scalia, age 79, passed away this evening in Texas. As reported earlier by Breitbart:
Justice Antonin Scaliaone of the most acclaimed legal scholars ever to serve on the Supreme Court of the United Stateshas passed away at age 79.
Justice Scalia was on a trip hunting quail in Marfa, Texas. He had gone to his room after dinner on Friday, February 12, and made no complaints that he was feeling ill or showing signs of medical distress. When he did not show for breakfast Saturday morning, someone was sent to check his room and discovered the deceased justice.
Its an absolute disaster. Let me put it this way, Scalia is kind of the Churchill, the Thatcher, and the Reagan of the Supreme Court. He wasnt even Chief Justice and yet his impact has been massive as an originalist, Levin went on.

WHAT THE FUCK? He was 80 years old and morbidly obese! I can't believe people didn't see this as at least a remote possibility.
