Conspiracy theories in Scalia death

(CNN) Three days after Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead in his room at a luxury hunting ranch in remote West Texas, the conspiracy theories about his passing continue to swirl.

A local judge's decision not to order a post-mortem examination have triggered a round of questions ranging from scrutiny of the procedures to the bizarre.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday referenced a report from the scene about Scalia's body when asked on a radio show to comment on the possibility that Scalia may have been murdered and whether there should be an independent investigation into this death.

"They say they found a pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow," Trump said on conservative radio host Michael Savage's show "The Savage Nation." Savage called for "the equivalent of a Warren Commission"-style investigation into Scalia's death.

The US government killed a President on live TV in Dallas, why not a Judge in a cabin?

That one HUGE mistake he made in 2000 overshadowed every other good thing he ever did.

I am not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination.
I do think that when a death occurs somewhere other than a hospital/nursing home setting, or other than the person's home, an autopsy should take place. If, in fact, a pillow was found covering his face, in my humble opinion, I would want to know why said pillow was covering the face.
Just my curious nature...

Which huge mistake was that?

The broken blood vessels in the eyes with the pillow over his face should have warranted an autopsy. I guess the same coroner or medical examiner that said it wasn't necessary was the same one that said Vince Foster committed suicide by shooting himself in the head 3 times.

Full steam ahead to the glorious New World Order. I like to give a shout out to my army of rainbow warriors and fat cat bankers funding our effort. Once we rid the world of all these old stubborn,patriotic, greedy, god fearing, constitution loving, racist white men. There is no stopping us.
Yours truly,
Satan

The Scalia Family has asked for everyone to stop with the conspiracies as it's making their time of mourning very difficult. They were aware of his health issues. Hope we can all respect that wish and just let them grieve in peace, that's the least we can do for a man who served our country by protecting our rights since 1986.

4:51-Bush over Gore was decided by the Supreme Court.Scalia had more to do with that decision than any other justice.
