Very sad, he lived a good life and was a great man seems both sides liked him a lot!
Loved, wine, song, and a good cigar, winner in my book. Also an Italian from Sicily like I am a descendant of, so we are talking a good meal too, and it showed

RIP Your Honor Scalia

One of the 'truest' defenders of our Constitution, replacing him will not be an easy task. I can only pray that a worthy successor is chosen ……..

No offense but I don't share people's views honoring Scalia. Can we get back to the music?

Regardless, he still commands respect as a former member of the highest court of our land.

Scalia is not my cup of tea so, yes, let's get back to music and audio equipment.
