He was often accused by his oppose sers of a allowing his conservative views to influence his legal judgment. But did he on occasion please liberals by up holding free speech in cases like the texas flag byrneing. Scalias death at age 79 will have a huge effect on the makeup of the court. The death of scalia opens the door for president obama to nominate someone to replace him on that bench and that could tip the balance of power in the court as we said scalia was known to be a conservative justice. His replacement is likely to lean more liberal. President obamas previous nominations for justices are Sonya Sotomayor and elena kagan.

And Michael Flynn is no longer National Security adviser. So this white house has a very, very significant credibility problem. And its with respect to Attorney General sessions, what this means, and again, its too
