What Was Scalia Doing on a Free Luxury Vacation???
Posted by: vCEkY ()

Why are conservative sites not covering the mysterious circumstances of the Supreme Court Justices death any more? This is buried waaaay down on the Blaze site. Shouldnt we be asking what Justice Scalia was doing at billionaire John B. Poindexter’s luxury ranch? Shouldnt we be asking who paid for him to be flown out to the luxury Cibolo Creek Ranch resort to stay for free?

Scalia was known to go hunting with VP Dick Cheney (while Cheney was the subject of a lawsuit before the court over his energy task force) and of course he and Justice Clarence Thomas had attended private political meetings sponsored by billionaire conservative donors David and Charles Koch. No wonder this story is no longer on the front page of conservative publications. Better hush this up ASAP.

Also why on Valentine's day? Wasnt he married?

Especially when J.B. Poindexter & Co., Inc. manufactures "energy parts." Like those used for the Keystone pipeline.

ustice Antonin Scalia was taking a free vacation at the exclusive Cibolo Creek Ranch in West Texas when he was found dead inside a guest room Saturday. The trip, the Washington Post reports, was a gift from the ranch’s owner, who just last year obtained a favorable result from the Supreme Court.

The 30,000-acre hunting ranch, located around 30 miles from the Mexican border in the West Texas town of Shafter, is also the home of owner John B. Poindexter, who owns the Houston-based manufacturing firm J.B. Poindexter & Co.

The two men already had a tenuous connection outside of the ranch. Last year, an age discrimination suit filed against the Mic Group, a subsidiary of J.B. Poindexter & Co., reached the Supreme Court, which declined to hear the case.

In an email to the Post, Poindexter said Scalia, who was invited to the ranch as a personal guest, was not charged for his stay. A person “familiar with the ranch’s operations” tells the paper Poindexter typically hosts these free events two to three times a year.

They all get "perks", don't be naïve and think that it is limited to the Republicans. Both parties enjoy those perks, they call them different things "Fact finding missions", "investigations" anything snappy. Bill Clinton and LBJ were notorious for this.

Who said anything about 'Republicans' - you are the first to mention a political party on this thread. We were talking about a Supreme Court Justice. Very telling your comment...

He was slamming bourbon, snorting lines and whoring until the wee hours of the morning. His ticker gave out on him from years of high living. Great way for a man to go. Cummin and going at the same time.

All Chief Justices enjoy perks like this, Scalia and Ginsberg would argue and then go to the Opera together, as friends, I'm sure the Opera was free to a chief Justice. They all do this, liberal and conservative justices. It would be construed as a "conflict of interest" if it hampered their decision making, which it doesn't. I wouldn't be surprised if both sides of the bench even associated on vacations such as Scalia's. It is a job, after 5pm the robes come off. Don't be such an alarmist and see conspiracies in your soup. Meditate and chill out with a Fresca.

Rightards want us to accept Scalia's corruption as perfectly acceptable. Not going to happen. Reveal all the details of his trip and let the American people make that distinction.

Again, I never mentioned parties or even impropriety. You seem to be focused on those. But since you bring it up it seems like you are saying if the all do it it must be okay. Is that what you are saying?

First the conspiracy theorist teatards were talking about Obama putting out a hit on Scalia, which made no sense becuase anyone with a brain would realize that the senate will not be passing any supreme court justice nomination this year. Even jesus wouldn't get accepted if Obama was the one nominating him.

Now that actual evidence that Scalia was doing something borderline illegal, who knows might have had a hooker in the room with him, afterall there was a pillow over his face, maybe he's into choking or some shit. Now that all of that weird detailing is coming out, all of a sudden the right tards want to just relax, look no further, it's cool.

Is it just me, or were they already getting ready for a Benghazi style blue ribbon committee to bring Obama or some other administration official to congress just before they realized it would be bad when the info came out?

Douchebags. You brought up the conspiracy, now die by it. The only conspiracy here is probably an old, dirty, corrupt fat man dying while doing something that he probably shouldn't have, one way or another.

Absolutely my observation as well. I like to go to TheBlaze, DrudgeReport and FoxNews to see what the buzz is everyday. At first Scalia was the first story. After a day he was top five story then bam! - off the front page completely. Comments started out 100% obama murdered Scalia. "Why no autopsy!!!" Now complete silence.

Since his family was the one declining the autopsy and the fact that Tony was being wined and dined at an exclusive ranch all of a sudden the murder conspiracy vanishes.

Im totally down with 4 Benghazi investigations on this! Lets find out 1. why Scalia was there. 2. What his cause of death was. 3. If Obama murdered him 4. who was paying for the luxury appointments for a Supreme Court Justice and why.

Scalia's condition of death not on FoxNews, Not on Drudge, Not on TheBlaze, Not on HotAir. The story is literally gone. The only Scalia story being carried is that Obama will not attend the funeral Sat (he will pay his respects Friday).

3 days ago the headline on all these was the mystery surround Scalia's death and calls for investigations. Now, crickets...

Justice Scalia was flown to Texas by the Air Force in a Gulfstream. Ironically, Air Force One flew to California in a similar time-frame. I'll leave the rest of the info I read out of this post as others can search for it if they so desire.

So I dont get it, why did the story about Scalia's death disappear? No answers like 'okay family says death natural, dr. says death natural etc. We dont even get the confirmation, just 'its mysterious' then poof the story vanishes. What do the people thinking Obama murdered scalia have to say about this story going away overnight?

There were most likely drugs in his body if the family doesn't want an autopsy.

Do your own homework, Gerry.

And when you get to the part about the ranch owner being a big contributor to the DNC.........well, you'll know all you need to.

Then you can report back to the mother ship for todays talking points.

deflection. Ruth was his longtime friend. She didnt pay him to go on 4 star vacations and she didnt pay for him to travel by private gulf stream jets. She was a friend.

So why was Scalia getting free private jet trips to luxury resorts owned by rich guys? Why is that?

Since you seem to know what "Ruth" does and does not pay for so intimately, maybe you can answer your own question.

Why was he getting free private jet trips to luxury resorts owned by rich DNC donors?

Oh, I agree completely. Couple of things though...

He's dead now. Too late to have an investigation that would produce anything real.

And.....may as well start investigating every politician that has ever lived for the same thing. They all have so many ways of spending other people's money. Fact finding trips to Europe. Have to attend a fundraiser for their party in Vegas/Hollywood/New York City/Miami/Chicago/you name it. Need to meet with ____ at the ______ Resort and discuss the nations problems while playing golf/hunting/boating/attending a movie premier.

And let us not forget the abuse that runs rampant in the government as well. Remember the $12 muffins?

And don't even get me started on the really stupid ones like the clown that was hiking.........up some South American's snatch on the tax payers dime. Or John Edwards. His campaign paid for his affair while his wife was back home dying from cancer?

Maybe we should just come up with a new agency to investigate all this plus the agencies that should have already had investigations ongoing.

It'd seriously be easier to fire everyone and start over.
