Associate Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead of apparent natural causes Saturday on a luxury resort in West Texas, federal officials said.

Scalia, 79, was a guest at the Cibolo Creek Ranch, a resort in the Big Bend region south of Marfa.

According to a report, Scalia arrived at the ranch on Friday and attended a private party with about 40 people. When he did not appear for breakfast, a person associated with the ranch went to his room and found a body.

The idea that anyone would cast a vote because of how I am casting my vote makes my skin crawl. It misses the point of everything I’ve been trying to do in my time...

The Department refuses to measure true performance, beginning with response times. They persist in providing complete measurements and elaborate graphs resulting in inaccurate and flawed information creating a “feel good” atmosphere that is not based on reality. You cannot fix what you cannot measure honestly and this is one of the main reason the system continues to fail the people we are here to serve.

A lack of accountability at all levels has created a workforce that is undisciplined and unchecked. Major infractions result in virtually no discipline and the “practice of medicine” is “overseen” by people with no authority, no medical expertise or teeth to drive change. Yet, it is that very “practice of medicine” for which this Department is so infamously known to be deficient.
