    Conspiracy theories swirl around the death of Antonin Scalia

    Conspiracy theories swirl around the death of Antonin Scalia

    Texas judge: Scalia died of natural causes


    The top elected official in the Texas county where Antonin Scalia was found dead says the U.S. Supreme Court Justice died of natural causes. (AP)

    Two days after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died suddenly in remote West Texas, a former D.C. homicide commander is raising questions about how the death was handled by local and federal authorities.
    “As a former homicide commander, I am stunned that no autopsy was ordered for Justice Scalia,” William O. Ritchie, former head of criminal investigations for D.C. police, wrote in a post on Facebook onSunday.
    [The death of Antonin Scalia: Chaos, confusion and conflicting reports]
    Scalia was found dead in his room at a luxury hunting resort in the state’s Big Bend region by the resort’s owner. It took hours for authorities to find a justice of the peace. When they did, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara pronounced Scalia dead of natural causes without seeing the body — which is permissible under Texas law — and without ordering an autopsy.
    On Sunday, the U.S. Marshals Service, which provides security for Supreme Court justices, said that Scalia had declined a security detail while at the ranch, so marshals were not present when he died. When the marshals were notified, deputy marshals from the Western District of Texas went to the scene, the service said in a statement.
    Guevara said she declared Scalia dead based on information from law enforcement officials on the scene, who assured her that “there were no signs of foul play.” She also spoke to Scalia’s doctor, who told her that the justice had been to see him Wednesday and Thursday last week for a shoulder injury and that he had ordered an MRI for Scalia, according to WFAA-TV in Dallas. The 79-year-old justice also suffered from several chronic conditions, Guevara said. She said she was awaiting a statement from the physician to complete Scalia’s death certificate.
    The manager of the El Paso funeral home that handled Scalia’s body said Scalia’s family insisted against an autopsy. But the decision has spawned a host of conspiracy theories online, as well as skeptical questions from law enforcement experts such as Ritchie.
    “You have a Supreme Court Justice who died, not in attendance of a physician,” he wrote. “You have a non-homicide trained US Marshal tell the justice of peace that no foul play was observed. You have a justice of the peace pronounce death while not being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack. What medical proof exists of a myocardial Infarction? Why not a cerebral hemorrhage?”
    In an interview with The Washington Post, Guevara has said she rebutted a report by a Dallas TV station that Scalia had died of “myocardial infarction.” She said she meant only that his heart had stopped.
    Ritchie also raised questions about the marshals’ actions:
    “How can the Marshal say, without a thorough post mortem, that he was not injected with an illegal substance that would simulate a heart attack…”
    “Did the US Marshal check for petechial hemorrhage in his eyes or under his lips that would have suggested suffocation? Did the US Marshal smell his breath for any unusual odor that might suggest poisoning? My gut tells me there is something fishy going on in Texas.”
    A spokesman for the marshals service said Monday that the marshals did not make a formal determination of death. He directed questions to the county judge who made the call.
    Scalia’s physician, Brian Monahan, is a U.S. Navy rear admiral and the attending physician for the U.S. Congress and Supreme Court. He declined to comment on Scalia’s health when reached by telephone Monday at his home in Maryland.
    “Patient confidentiality forbids me to make any comment on the subject,” he said.
    When asked whether he planned to make public the statement he’s preparing for Guevara, Monahan repeated the same statement and hung up on a reporter.

    Obama looks out of it, "a mess" in his announcement re Justice Scalia.....he has the "tranquilized' walk away too.
    People Instantly Noticed Something About Obama During His Statement On Scalia’s Death

    "A lot of stumbling and bumbling..."

    President Obama’s official remarks Saturday on the death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia have been derided as “a mess,” while one website reveals it followed hours of plotting to maximize the political opportunity Scalia’s death might provide the president. Kristinn Taylor, writing on The Gateway Pundit, called Obama’s announcement a “disrespectful presentation.” “When he did deign to interrupt his Washington’s Birthday holiday weekend vacation, Obama spoke to the nation from the press filing center in Rancho Mirage while not wearing a tie with his rumpled shirt collar open under a suit jacket,” she wrote. “Two-thirds through reading prepared remarks staged on the lectern, Obama placed both elbows on the lectern and finished the three-minute speech slouching on the lectern”
    A lot of stumbling and bumbling by Obama through his obligatory remarks about Scalia. What a mess.

    Obama’s speech may have taken second place to Obama’s efforts to use Scalia’s death to the president’s advantage, according to one report. “Word reached the White House hours before formal media announcements were made regarding longtime Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia having been found dead while vacationing at a Texas resort,” wrote DC Whispers. “First the speechwriters were summoned to provide the appropriate tone for Barack Obama’s remarks. During that same time, Obama and Valerie Jarrett were already initiating a long-standing plan for what they viewed as a prime opportunity to make Mr. Obama relevant once again and an opportunity that the President was said to be thrilled to have before him.” The website noted Obama was hardly likely to express deep personal feelings over Scalia’s passing. “The animosity between Justice Scalia and the Obama White House was well known,” it wrote. “Scalia considered the Obama administration to be a scourge upon the Constitutional-based tenets of the American form of government. The Obama White House in turn privately viewed Scalia as a legal ‘dinosaur’ who was horribly out of place amidst the ongoing ‘fundamental transformation’ the Obama regime was pushing for the country.”



    Gateway Pundit readers noted the difference between Obama’s tone in talking about Scalia and the tone he reserves for others. “if this were Eric Holder, he’d be all in tears and stuff, but hey, it was just some fat, white conservative,” wrote a poster using the name of “woodstock.” “Hell, he was way more broken up and respectful about Trayvon Martin, the thug!,” chimed in a poster named “molon labe.”
