Not sure why he even got the nomination, with all of the crazy statements that he saids. On top of that he is just a plain bully. Can't imagine he will be the next president. We would have a full blown WWIII.

Pray tell, what is an "undesirable Supreme Court Justice" in your opinion?
But the Right constantly complains about "activist" judges! Surely, no Republican would want a SCOTUS Justice to come in and actively reverse 40+ years of precedent in women's privacy rights.
Since you brought up Scalia. How come an autopsy wasn't performed?

Conspiracy theories run rampant in Right circles, don't they?
Here's why this isn't reasonable, and is in fact completely unreasonable. I'm hyper-sensitive to specious arguments right now due to Trump's vomiting daily of uncivilized insinuations and innuendo.
Assuming he died with a "pillow on his face" (which appears to have already been debunkedhttp://www.nydailynews.com/news/pol...clarifies-pillow-location-article-1.2535124),here's some of the extremely poor logic you'd have to follow to even entertain the prospect of murder, much less create public speculation:
1) Why would the murderer leave the pillow on Scalia's face? Does he not want investigators to start with the assumption natural causes resulted in the death?
2) Did the initial police, crime scene investigators and their supervisors ignore the "pillow on his face" and not investigate this? Why would they do this? This is a deeply red state, no? They're all conspiring to cover-up Scalia's murder? Why?
3) Did the coroner join the conspiracy too? Why would he ignore evidence of suffocation and conclude a natural cause death?
So, if we ignore all of these extremely implausible, if not impossible, stars to align in the conspiracy theory, then we can ask inflammatory specious questions and try to fool some people. This is what Trump does daily.
Actually, Clinton is more likely to get us into WWIII than Trump. Trump asks questions like why are we threatening war against Russia over Crimea when 80% of the people in Crimea are happier with Russia than they were with Kiev? Hillary never met a war she did not wholeheartedly support. At least Trump asks questions first.
This is what scare me more .. We will hopefully suffer only at most of 4 years under a bad president, but undesirable new supreme court justices can affect or reshape American values and way of life for a very long time ... something to think about ...

In the next few years, the Supreme Court may face as many as four vacancies as some of the justices age or enter retirement ....

The interesting thing is that many conservatives who were nominated to the supreme court turned into super-liberals once on the supreme court (Warren, Brennan, etc.). It's never happened the other way though, no liberal candidate has ever turned into a conservative justice. This leads me to believe the supreme court has a liberalifying effect on its justices. So if a conservative president gets a conservative justice confirmed, that does not mean a lifetime of conservative decisions from that justice. Eisenhower said in 1969 that he was totally gobsmacked that Bill Brennan (who Ike nominated in 1956) turned into a flaming liberal on the court. Ike called it the worst mistake of his presidency.

You can support Trump for many reasons, but you cannot argue he's a serious candidate for President. That, he is not.
