The brilliant jurist and lion of the court, Justice Antonin Scalia, had been dead but a few hours this weekend when liberals across the country began exulting at his demise. It was perhaps the most disgusting display of barbarism we’ve seen out of our liberal comrades in recent years. While we have no doubt that Scalia’s opinions rubbed many the wrong way, and we thoroughly support their freedom to express their opinions of his opinions, the behavior these liberals expressed was downright stomach churning.

Scalia was a monster and no one's job entitles them to respect. https://t.co/q4v0Kk1ZFJ

Hope Scalia is in a place as fucked up as he tried to make our country.

Thankfully not everyone in America is a liberal, so there were a few kinder responses that were in better keeping with the sad event.
