The consensus over on the Ammon Bundy thread seemed to be that we ought not gloat over the misfortunes of people - even horrible people. And that we ought to be grateful that the authorities worked professionally and got almost all of them out alive.

I know that we can expect to see a similar level of maturity and decorum on this thread.

All I've got to say, though, is Ding-fucking-Dong! (And as soon as I heard, I came looking on Unfogged for the thread titled "Ding Dong." I am glad to have my confidence affirmed, if only in the text of the post.)

Maybe they should make Harry Whittington apologize for Scalia dying in the state of Texas.

3.1 is a pretty good comment too!

If you don't want people to cheer the deaths of political figures, don't design a political system where death is one of the few ways change becomes possible.

The senate is in recess right now, just saying.

I'm thinking Loretta Lynch for the new spot? She's already been approved by the Senate one time...

NRO commenters are already having aneurysms over that possibility.

Am I the only one who mentally pronounced Scalia SCALE-e-uh? I'd never heard it aloud before now. I'll stick with my version anyway, for its evocation of reptilian loathsomeness.

13: Eric Holder is 65!

If I were a democratic senator I would personally filibuster any nominee over the age of 45.

I am so glad I got to feel like this before they got to feel like this about (may she live forever) RBG.

It gives one great hope for Alito and Thomas.

I wonder how many installments Daron's Guitar Chronicles can possibly support.

Totally OT, but if it's true that Obama's Valentine's Day card to Michelle read: "I Obamacare about you more than you even know." that's really great.
