\"Antonin-Scalia-e1455476609684\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By Dan Lyman<\/p>\n

The most conservative, Constitutionally-adherent Supreme Court Justice has passed away<\/a>, in his sleep, after a night of celebratory festivities, during a hunting trip in West Texas.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be purely objective: at 79-years-old, he was the longest-serving Justice. He was overweight. It is being reported that he died of natural causes. Fair enough.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s also not be complacently naive: Scalia was the Supreme Court\u2019s staunchest opponent to the progressive agenda. He demolished last summer\u2019s gay marriage ruling in a scathing 9-page dissent<\/a>, admonishing the court for trampling individual states\u2019 rights and its non-representative make-up, stating \u2013<\/p>\n

\u201cTake, for example, this Court, which consists of only nine men and women, all of them successful lawyers who studied at Harvard or Yale Law School. Four of the nine are natives of New York City. Eight of them grew up in east-and west-coast States. Only one hails from the vast expanse in-between.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One need only examine how the ultra-liberal Los Angeles Times<\/em> derisively covered<\/a> Scalia\u2019s passing to understand the enmity with which anti-constitutional progressives viewed him.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026inside the court, his rigid style of conservatism and derisive jabs directed at his colleagues limited his effectiveness. Scalia himself seemed to relish the role of the angry dissenter.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0As a justice, he was the leading advocate for interpreting the Constitution by its original words and meaning, and not in line with contemporary thinking. He said he liked a \u2018dead Constitution,\u2019 not a \u2018living\u2019 one that evolves with the times.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And please set aside the time to ingest initial reactions from the most rabid communist animals on the planet, as chronicled at Breitbart News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It should not be overlooked that Barack Obama\u2019s climate change agenda, in direct collusion with the United Nations\u2019 recent COP 21 agreements in Paris<\/a>, was blocked in a 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court \u2013 just a few days ago.<\/p>\n

The Hill <\/em>previously reported on the Supremes\u2019 decision<\/a> in succinct terms that clearly define its importance to the Obama cabal, United Nations, and two biggest \u2018global warming\u2019 liars in the presidential race.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe court granted the request in a 5-4 vote\u00a0on Tuesday\u00a0night, saying the rule was on hold until the circuit court reviews it and Supreme Court appeals are exhausted. The court\u2019s four liberal justices dissented from the decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rule \u2014 the Clean Power Plan \u2014 is the main plank of Obama\u2019s climate change agenda. It\u2019s designed to cut carbon pollution from the electricity sector by 32 percent over 2005 levels by 2030 by assigning states individual reduction targets based on their energy mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement that the administration disagrees with the order, but \u2018we remain confident that we will prevail\u2019 when the rule is argued on its merits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A senior administration official downplayed the decision, calling it \u2018a temporary procedural determination that does nothing to affect first our confidence in the legal soundness of this rule.\u2019 Another official said the White House is \u2018very surprised\u2019 by the decision, but has \u2018complete confidence that the rule is lawful.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stay means Obama will likely leave office with the fate of his premier climate policy undecided.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The circuit court plans to hear arguments on the rule in June, meaning the Supreme Court probably won\u2019t get a chance to hear or rule on the regulation until after Obama\u2019s term ends in January.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It also elevates the Clean Power Plan\u2019s status as a major issue in the presidential election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have pledged to protect the rule \u2014 and expand on Obama\u2019s climate work \u2014 if elected in November, while Republican candidates have been openly hostile to both the power plant rule and federal climate regulations in general.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama, bullish on the rule\u2019s legality in the face of certain lawsuits, took the plan with him to Paris last year for a major climate conference focused on carbon reduction. The Clean Power Plan is the centerpiece of the American commitment to the agreement reached there.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It has become flagrantly apparent that the Obama administration is a coterie of gangsters and criminals of the highest, most sophisticated degree. We should not blindly accept such a tragic, radical alteration of the protection of our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights to the State without a healthy dose of forthright, critical thought.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all looked to Obama\u2019s \u2018final\u2019 year in the White House with trepidation, wondering what extreme stunts he would pull \u2013 why should we rule anything out? Let\u2019s not be complacent at this pivotal moment in our nation\u2019s future. Hitler\u2019s \u2018Night of the Long Knives\u2019<\/a> just happened to be a more \u2018public\u2019 and comprehensive elimination of dissent.<\/p>\n

May the Honorable Justice Antonin Scalia rest in peace, with prayers and healing be with his family at this time.<\/p>\n
