The first Italian American to sit on the nations highest court, justice Antonin Scalia was a conservative in thought, but not in personality antonin Gregory Scalia was raised in the elmhurst neighborhood of new york city the only child of a sicilianborn College Professor and a School Teacher mother. They instilled in the precocious child a love of words and font i was somewhat of a greasy grind i have to say. I studied real hard. He was a top student at public Catholic Schools in the city. Law began in college and so too an interest in maureen mccarthy, whom he later married and had nine children with. Embrace of conservatism attracted the attention of republicans and president reagan ultimately named the 50yearold the high court in 1986 there he quickly developed a reputation as a reliable conservative. And his own style helped liven the public face of the High Court Paul clement, fmr. Solicitor general scalia law clerk some of the other justices, including justices who had been on the court for a while, were kinda if the new guy gets to ask all these question, im going to step up and ask some questions too. On abortion, the death penalty, affirmative action, homosexual rights scalia clashed early and often with more moderate or leftleaning scalia biographer if he was trying to get anybody to sign an opinion, it was harder when he would use more combative language. But as much as they would say id like to strangle nino, he was still theirs in many ways. And those dissents helped him hone a creative some said often cruel streak in his writings, becoming a master stylist. He once referred to the Junior Varsity congress. He quoted cole porter, shakespeare, and sesame street songs. Off the bench, came admiration from Young Conservatives who wrote books and created websites in tribute. But controversy too a hunting trip with Vice President cheney at the same time the court was considering a lawsuit against the numbertwo over access to privileged documents.

Quote today our nation lost one of its finest public servants. I am deeply grieving the loss of Justice Scalia in two ways as a friend blessed by his kindness.

Foxs john roberts shows us what the president ial say exactly one week before South Carolina voters head to the polls. The sudden death of conservative Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia changed the tone of the Republican Debate in South Carolina dickerson so just to be clear on this mr trump, youre okay with the president nominating somebody. Trump i think hes going to do it whether im okay or not. I think its up to Mitch Mcconnel and everybody else to stop it. Its called delay, delay, delay. Kasich i believe the president should not move forward and i think we ought to let the next president of the United States decide who is going to run that Supreme Court with a vote by the people of the United States of america.

Trump what we want to do, when we want to do it and how hard do we want to hit prior to the face off senator marco promised a better performance than what he turned in during the last rubio i think there are three major threats that you want to get on top of. Number one is what are we doing in the Asia Pacific Region where both north korea and china pose threats to the National Security of the United States. Number two is what are we doing in the middle east with a combination of a sunni shia conflict driven by the shia arc that iran is now trying to establish in the middle east and also the growing threat of isis. And the third is rebuilding and reinvigorating nato in the european theater. There were a few surprise moments during the debate. Bush i could care less about the insults that donald trump gives to me its blood sport to him and he enjoys it and im glad hes happy about it. But i am sick and tired of him going after my family. My dad is the greatest man alive in my mind and while donald trump was building a Reality Tv Show my brother was building a Security Apparatus to keep us safe and im proud of what he did. The economy was also a hot topic. Cruz everyone understands at home that the middle class has the obama economy and weve got to bring jobs back, weve got to get people back to work , weve got to get wages going up again, weve got to get people moving from part time work to full time work, we all agree on that but its not all going to be solved with magic pixie dust its not just going to be solved by declaring into the air, let there be jobs.
