It is common in so many Republican states that it's hard to keep track.

Leslie and I can be friends, too. It works when folks don't throw mud at each other.

I have lots of conservative friends and relatives. We have more in common than not.

And I have lots of liberal friends. One of them is a Pennsylvania State Senator now. We were partners in a law firm back in the '80s and we always have had fun, great lunches and deep conversations about politics - without slinging mud.

Supreme Court decisions require a majority. If the court ends up with a 4-4 tie, then the lower court decision in question will end up being upheld.

Apparently he is too stupid to come up with a real Stalin quote.

One case where Scalia's death could make a difference is the lawsuit against the California teachers' union about compulsory union dues. That seemed to be heading to a 5-4 ruling for the plaintiffs. With Scalia gone, that could now be a 4-4 tie, which would leave the 11th circuit decision to stand, which went against the plaintiffs.

11th circuit? Isn't California in the 9th district still? Or am I missing something?

You're right; I should have said ninth circuit.

According to some Leonard Nimoy! Yeah you heard it right. He faked his death to assume leadership of the illuminati and the bilderberg group. Some even say the super bowl half time show actually predicted Scalia's death!

Others write satire. It's like The Onion, but it's spoofing right-wing conspiracy websites such as Rense and InfoWars.
