      I can't help but feel Scalia's death was not natural causes, as Scalia did not have any prior indication of deteriorating health. Scalia's suddenly unexpected death smells of something more sinister-chemically induced death / stealth assassination. This may not be the case, but it reeks with suspicion which is a very high probability, given the corrupt criminal regime in charge of the country, who's policy mantra is "the ends justifies the means".

    1. Two vacancies occurred on the Supreme Court during Tyler's presidency, as Justices Smith Thompson and Henry Baldwin died in 1843 and 1844, respectively. Tyler, ever at odds with Congress—including the Whig-controlled Senate—nominated several men to the Supreme Court to fill these seats. However, the Senate successively voted against confirming John Canfield Spencer, Reuben Walworth, Edward King and John M. Read (King was rejected twice). One reason cited for the Senate's actions was the hope that Clay would fill the vacancies after winning the 1844 presidential election. Tyler's four unsuccessful nominees are the most by a president.

      Finally, in February 1845, with less than a month remaining in his term, Tyler's nomination of Samuel Nelson to Thompson's seat was confirmed by the Senate. Nelson, a Democrat, had a reputation as a careful and noncontroversial jurist. Still, his confirmation came as a surprise. Baldwin's seat remained vacant until James K. Polk's nominee, Robert Grier, was confirmed in 1846.

      1. Well Tyler got to laugh later when his traitorous ass was elected to the Confederate Congress. A gooberment body odor that in some ways is not so different from today's Congress.

  2. I can't find anything in the constitution about coming to a conclusion based on your politics, then searching for your reasoning.
