Well, the country as we know it will end. With Justice Scalia dead the end is near. I cant say what I think because of the "Politics" clause here, but the ramifications of this and the current administration are going to be HUGE!

Ramifications might not be much, other than the Court having to function with only eight justices for the next year. In the current political atmosphere, during an election year, what are the odds of there being any new justice that could be nominated by the current president and confirmed by the current senate? Probably about zero.

deadlocked congress. Now a possible deadlocked SC. It is a good thing that remaining justices aren't as arrogant as Scalia nor as abrasive in their opinions. Hopefully they come to reasonable decisions.

I dont think the republicans have the BALLS to stall Obama.

From the Onion: "Justice Scalia Dead Following 30-Year Battle With Social Progress" 345 days seems like plenty of time to git'er done unless the opposition is willing to risk record level obstructionism/breaking the country in an election year. Fasten your seatbelts- this is going to be GREAT!

Ties go to the lower court, most circuits are more liberal than SOCTUS. 4 to 4 is not a tie. The lower circuit is sustained. Vito is gone the Court is tied. up.gif
