Judge Defends Court Order Declining Autopsy On Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Who Died Under Suspicious Circumstances But Former Criminal Investigator Disagrees



Antonin Scalia

The Washington Post is reporting Texas Judge, Cinderela Guevara, pronounced U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Antonin Scalia, dead "without seeing his body." Scalia passed away this past weekend at the upscale Cibolo Creek Ranch in Shafter, Texas, with no security in tow, as he declined protection while on vacation at the resort. The owner of the Cibolo Creek Ranch stated to the press, "We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled. He was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap."

Guevara stated she acted on information provided to her by authorities. However, in light of claims he passed away with a pillow over his head, which Judge Guevara may not have been informed about, an autopsy should have been performed. I dislike this rush by Washington to usher Scalia into the grave with such serious questions surrounding his death. In the interest of justice and equity, an autopsy should have been performed.

The former head of criminal investigations for D.C. police, William O. Ritchie stated, "You have a justice of the peace pronounce death while not being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack.” He has a good point. 

I find it upsetting that Scalia was found with a pillow over his head. Anyone with a heart should feel sad about that. I didn't agree with his racial rulings, but he was a human being. I sincerely hope he was not killed, but the manner in which he was found, with a pillow over his face, doesn't look good. It's downright sad, as what it implies is horrible. I don't like conspiracy theories, but what are people supposed to think under the circumstances.

Texas judge defends decision not to order autopsy for Justice Scalia 

By Mark Berman February 16 at 7:33 PM -  The top elected official in the Texas county where Antonin Scalia was found dead says the U.S. Supreme Court Justice died of natural causes. The Texas judge who pronounced Justice Antonin Scalia dead over the weekend but did not request an autopsy defended her decision Tuesday in the face of questions and conspiracy theories floating online, saying she was respecting the wishes of his relatives. 

After Scalia died suddenly at a remote West Texas resort, a chaotic and confused scene unfolded in the remote region not far from the border with Mexico. It took hours to find a justice of the peace, and when they did, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara pronounced Scalia dead without seeing his body, which is allowed under Texas law. 

This decision was made based on what Scalia’s family wanted and what she was told by a law enforcement official, Guevara said. Guevara decided against the autopsy after the county sheriff told her “there were no signs of foul play or struggle, and that it appeared that Justice Scalia had died peacefully in his sleep,” she said in a statement Tuesday... 

The decision not to order an autopsy has prompted skeptical questions from law enforcement, like William O. Ritchie, former head of criminal investigations for D.C. police. “You have a justice of the peace pronounce death while not being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack,” Ritchie wrote on Facebook. He also questioned whether authorities could be sure “that he was not injected with an illegal substance that would simulate a heart attack.”...

No Autopsy On Racist Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Who Was Suspiciously Found Dead With Pillow Over His Face After Declining Security On Vacation In Texas

Rumors Rife Scalia Was Killed...But Who Had The Most To Gain From His Death


Antonin Scalia

The news coming out of Texas regarding the death of U.S. Supreme Court justice, Antonin Scalia, isn't pretty. Scalia passed away this past weekend on the Cibolo Creek Ranch in Shafter, Texas (Racist Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Dead). He was on vacation at the ranch and declined security. The owner of the Cibolo Creek Ranch stated to the press on Scalia's death, "We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled. He was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap."

Who sleeps with a pillow over their head. The man was a rude racist, but he wasn't a complete imbecile. Why was a pillow over his face. People found dead with a pillow over their head are usually victims of suffocation at a criminal's hands. Suffocation and an ensuing struggle to breathe can also induce a heart attack. What's also suspect is the government stating Scalia died of natural causes and no autopsy will be performed. This is highly unethical under the circumstances. A thorough autopsy should be performed and an investigation conducted into his death in the interest of justice.

Scalia and the Supreme Court ruled against U.S. President Barack Obama last week, regarding his proposed EPA regulations. It came as a shock to many in Washington and viewed as the Supreme Court rebuffing the president. The Court has come under fire these past few months over conduct the public slammed (Racist Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia States In Ruling That Blacks Are Slower Than Whites Causing Uproar On Social Networking and The Associated Press Accuses U.S. Supreme Court Judges Of Taking Stocks As Bribes And They're Right). Scalia and the Supreme Court were also set to decide a number of cases, including items concerning President Obama's political plans and policies. 

Scalia's convenient passing means Obama gets to nominate another Supreme Court justice, who would rule in his autocratic favor. However, there are reports of a resolution passed by Democrats in 1960 that forbids the appointment of a Supreme Court justice during an election year under these types of circumstances, "S.RES. 334, 'Expressing the sense of the Senate that the president should not make recess appointments to the Supreme Court, except to prevent or end a breakdown in the administration of the Court’s business.'"

If Scalia was indeed killed, he deserves something he denied many people in life in his role on the Supreme Court, which is justice. Murder is wrong.

Cibolo Creek Ranch owner recalls Scalia’s last hours in Texas

Updated 10:11 pm, Sunday, February 14, 2016 - Owner of Cibolo Creek Ranch John Poindexter speaks to reporters the day following the death Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia at the West Texas Resort ranch February 14, 2016 in Shafter, Texas. A first-time guest to the Cibolo Creek Creek Ranch, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was animated and engaged during dinner Friday night, as one of three dozen invitees to an event that had nothing to do with law or politics, according to the ranch owner. 

Just hours later, he would be found dead of apparent natural causes, which media outlets were reporting Sunday was a heart attack. "He was seated near me and I had a chance to observe him. He was very entertaining. But about 9 p.m. he said, 'it's been a long day and a long week, I want to get some sleep," recalled Houston businessman John Poindexter, who owns the 30,000-acre luxury ranch.

When Poindexter tried to awaken Scalia about 8:30 the next morning, the judge's door was locked and he did not answer. Three hours later, Poindexter returned after an outing, with a friend of Scalia who had come from Washington with him. "We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled," said Poindexter. "He was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap," he said.

Scalia,79, did not have a pulse and his body was cold, and after consulting with a doctor at a hospital in Alpine, Poindexter concluded resuscitation would have been futile, He then contacted federal authorities, at first encountering a series of answering services because he was calling on a weekend...

Justice Antonin Scalia said to have died of 'natural causes' 

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died of natural causes and no autopsy was necessary, a judge has told The Associated Press. Chris Lujan, a manager for Sunset Funeral Homes in Texas, said the 79-year-old jurist's body was taken from the El Paso facility late Sunday afternoon and was to be flown to Virginia, although he had no details. Scalia's family didn't think a private autopsy was necessary and requested that his remains be returned to Washington as soon as possible, Lujan said. 

Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara told The Associated Press on Sunday she consulted with Scalia's personal physician and sheriff's investigators, who said there were no signs of foul play, before concluding that he had died of natural causes. He was found dead in his room at a West Texas resort ranch Saturday morning. Guevara says the declaration was made around 1:52 p.m. Saturday. 

Terry Sharpe, assistant director for operations at El Paso International Airport, said a private plane carrying Scalia's body departed around 8 p.m. EST Sunday. Scalia's body was accompanied to the airport by U.S. marshals, he said. The body was returned to Virginia late Sunday. Scalia's weekend death was as much of a shock to those at the ranch as it was to the rest of the nation...

Dems in Senate passed a resolution in1960 against election year Supreme Court appointments

February 14, 2016 - Read it and weep, Democrats. The shoe is on the other foot. David Bernstein at the Washington Post’s Volokh Conspiracy blog: Thanks to a VC commenter, I discovered that in August 1960, the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a resolution, S.RES. 334, “Expressing the sense of the Senate that the president should not make recess appointments to the Supreme Court, except to prevent or end a breakdown in the administration of the Court’s business.” Each of President Eisenhower’s SCOTUS appointments had initially been a recess appointment who was later confirmed by the Senate, and the Democrats were apparently concerned that Ike would try to fill any last-minute vacancy that might arise with a recess appointment. The GOP opposed this, of course. Hypocrisy goes two ways. But the majority won. As it should this time.

Racist Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Dead


Antonin Scalia


It is being reported this evening that Scalia has died on a Marfa, Texas ranch. Reports reveal he was not feeling well yesterday and did not come down for breakfast this morning. He was subsequently found dead. He was 79-years-old. Scalia will be remembered as the racist who stated blacks are slower than whites and should not be admitted to elite universities. He will also be remembered as the Supreme Court judge who robbed politician Al Gore of his destiny in corruptly awarding George W. Bush the 2000 U.S. Presidential election, which set in motion a deceitful war that left over 1,000,000 people dead and darn near bankrupted America. Scalia was unrepentantly and unapologetic racist, corrupt and defiant to the end. Scalia has a lot to answer for when he meets God, the true Judge of us all that made us all equal.  

Social networking is not mourning Scalia. Thousands of comments have been posted slamming him, Clarence Thomas and the Supreme Court as a whole. Americans are fed up with the decisions pouring out of the Supreme Court, as they are not instep with the will of the people. It also doesn't help that Supreme Court judges are corruptly sitting on many millions of dollars in stock in major U.S. corporations that are petitioning the court, when said justices can't afford said stocks on their salaries (The Associated Press Accuses U.S. Supreme Court Judges Of Taking Stocks As Bribes And They're Right). It doesn't look good.

The Associated Press Accuses U.S. Supreme Court Judges Of Taking Stocks As Bribes And They're Right

 
John Roberts

The U.S. Supreme Court has come under fire in a recent expose on the Associated Press and Yahoo News websites. The article states U.S. Supreme Court justices have millions of dollars in stock in American corporations, who are filing civil cases for the Supreme Court to decide. It is a felony for a Supreme Court Justice to rule on cases where they have stock in any of the litigants companies.

The head of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, ruled over a case I filed with the Supreme Court, who has one of the rudest, most ill-mannered, ill-tempered clerks in existence. Roberts ruled in the original Aisha v. Madonna case I had filed in 2005 that reached the Supreme Court in 2008, with them affirming the corrupt lower court's decisions, rendered by bribe taking Florida federal judge, Cecilia Altonaga.

Here's were the corruption is apparent. Chief Justice Roberts should not have ruled in the case. The Associated Press and Yahoo News revealed this week Roberts has $500,000 of stock in Time Warner, who owns Warner Bros, the label and movie company Madonna has worked for since the beginning of her fraudulent career. Time Warner and Warner Bros were also sued in the first Aisha v. Madonna case Roberts unlawfully ruled in. That was illegal.

Roberts and the Supreme Court criminally allowed a corrupt series of legal rulings in Miami, Florida by Cecilia Altonaga and Marcia G. Cooke stand, in what nearly led to my death and that of my mother, when Madonna felt so empowered by the bribery and corruption, she sent a Miami Kabbalah Center lunatic to attack my mom at a Miami Chase Bank location (the staff rushed to her aid when they heard my mom screaming in horror, in what prevented the worst from happening).

In three separate incidents, members of the Kabbalah Center tried to run me over with vehicles, in a criminal tactic later revealed in criminal court by U.S. prosecutors in California as conduct Madonna's now incarcerated private investigator, Anthony Pellicano, often commissioned on behalf of celebrities in Hollywood, paying him to insanely target and harass innocent people.

Altonaga completely corrupted and deliberately destroyed the case with corrupt rulings, knowing she was committing a felony, as Madonna's co-defendants Sony gave her stock in their company (which she was forced to admit in a judicial recusal motion). Sony and Warner Bros share the same copyright lawyer in New York and share in publishing money and credits on various songs. Altonaga's husband was and is a partner in the law firm that represents Sony in many legal matters.

All this meant she should have recused herself, but she stayed on and destroyed the case via corruption. I had to file a motion to recuse Altonaga citing the blatant conflict of interest. That's when she admitted in response to the motion that Sony had slipped her daughter, a minor in her care and household, stock in their company. She refused to acknowledge the fact her husband is their lawyer, which was sitting right on his firm's website and in legal magazines (which is where I found the information). The Supreme Court affirmed the corruption in denying to hear the case, thus criminally aiding Hollywood in stealing billions of dollars in copyrights and abusing an innocent immigrant family they tried to kill. I have since sued Madonna again in 2015, as her criminal conduct has grown exponentially worse, posing a serious danger to our lives.

How are these Supreme Court judges affording millions of dollars worth of stock in these American corporations. They don't make enough money to afford theses stocks. As I have stated before, the U.S. legal and justice system does not work. It is full of corruption and bribery. It is the most corrupt in the world.

Roberts sold more than $250,000 in Microsoft stock

February 4, 2016 4:14 AM - FILE - WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court's recent decision to step into a relatively unimportant case involving Microsoft's Xbox 360 gaming system revealed that Chief Justice John Roberts has sold between $250,000 and $500,000 in Microsoft stock in the past year.

Federal judges violate the law if they take part in a case involving a company they own shares in, although Roberts declined through a court spokeswoman to comment on his situation. His decision, though, raises this question: If the chief justice can unload one of his two largest stock holdings (Time-Warner is the other), why does any justice continue to own individual companies' stock, knowing that doing so sometimes will force him out of a case?

"We're not talking about grandpa's stock in the family business where a justice might have some sentimental reason for holding onto the shares. These are major corporations who regularly come before the court," said Arthur Hellman, who specializes in judicial ethics at the University of Pittsburgh.

Roberts himself backed a change in federal law to make decisions to sell more palatable financially. In 2006, Congress changed the law to prevent judges from getting socked with a big tax hit if they sell a stock to avoid a conflict of interest, then reinvest the money in government securities or certain kinds of mutual funds.

Only three justices — Samuel Alito, Stephen Breyer and Roberts — even own individual stocks. Yet in the past few months, Alito has had to sit out a Supreme Court case and Breyer and Roberts acknowledged they overlooked stock ownership that should have precluded their participation in cases.

Alito's ownership of up to $15,000 worth of shares in Wisconsin-based Johnson Controls Inc. caused him to miss the court's consideration of federal policy on electricity pricing. Johnson Controls owns a subsidiary that was involved in the high-profile energy case. Breyer took part in that case despite his wife's ownership of the very same stock.

The routine check Breyer's office did to avoid conflicts failed to flag the Johnson Controls stock as a problem, Supreme Court clerk Scott Harris said in a letter to the parties after the argument. Breyer's wife, Joanna, quickly sold 750 shares worth about $33,000 after Breyer was alerted to the conflict.

Breyer voted with the majority to uphold the policy that was being challenged by industry groups.
In early October, Roberts took part in the denial of an appeal by Texas Instruments among 20 parties that appealed their share of the costs to clean up a hazardous waste site in Arizona. Roberts owns between $100,001 and $250,000 in Texas Instruments stock, and court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg acknowledged Roberts should not have been involved. Alito sat it out, without explanation.

Fix the Court, a judicial ethics watchdog, first spotted Roberts' Texas Instruments conflict. The chief justice's sale of his Microsoft stock was the largest single stock sale by anyone on the court in at least the 10-plus years he has been there.

In 2014, Alito got rid of shares in five companies worth at least $330,000, and perhaps as much as $900,000. The justices report their financial holdings in ranges, rather than exact values. Alito's investment portfolio has grown in recent years through inheritance and he has sought to reduce some individual stock investments. He still held stock in nearly three dozen companies as of the end of 2014, according to his most recent financial disclosure.

Breyer and Roberts also have reduced some holdings. Breyer's largest single investment, worth from $1 million to $5 million, is his wife's stock in the Pearson media empire that her family started and built.

Roberts holds roughly a dozen individual stocks, the largest of which is $250,000 to $500,000 in Time Warner Inc.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts Complains About Negative Public Perception Of The Court

 
John Roberts

First racist Supreme Court judge, Antonin Scalia, made bigoted, ignorant remarks about black people (Antonin Scalia Slammed By Members Of Congress As A Racist Who Should Be Removed From The Supreme Court) then tried to invoke the name of God and His role in America, when God in heaven doesn't support the behavior of such a man or his corrupt judicial colleagues who are helping to destroy the United States. Now Chief Justice John Roberts has done an interview complaining about the negative public perception of the court.  

The Washington Post stated, "Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said late Wednesday that partisan extremism is damaging the public’s perception of the role of the Supreme Court." The court has made decisions that cost innocent people their lives. Public perception of the Supreme Court is very negative. The reason the Google Maps debacle happened, where the Supreme Court was labeled "The Dumb F**ks" is because the public labeled them as such and the tech company failed to edit it (Google Calls Black President Obama's White House 'The Nig*a House' And The Supreme Court 'Dumb F**ks'). 

Online searches will also reveal very negative comments from the American and global public about the Supreme Court. The comments indicate the court is hated by many, consistently going against the will of the people to do the bidding of presidents and special interests.

In the not too distant future, due to egregiously corrupt decisions the Supreme Court has already made, the public will petition them far, far less. There will be a massive decline in cases. Then you guys will have time to play Scrabble, watch Wheel of Fortune on TV and a riveting show you guys should be on "American Greed."

The political wars damage public perception of Supreme Court, Chief Justice Roberts says

February 4 at 9:53 AM - BOSTON — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said late Wednesday that partisan extremism is damaging the public’s perception of the role of the Supreme Court, recasting the justices as players in the political process rather than its referees. Divisive battles over confirmations and mischaracterization of the merits of the court’s decisions worry him, Roberts told a ballroom crowd of about 1,000 people at a celebration of Law Day for New England Law-Boston.

Criticism of the court “doesn’t bother me at all,” Roberts said, as long as it is not based on a misunderstanding of how the court differs from the political branches. “It’s usually discussed as, ‘Oh, you’re in favor of this or you’re in favor of that,’ ” Roberts said in response to questions from the law school’s dean, John F. O’Brien.

“In fact, our ruling is that whoever does get to decide this or that is allowed to do it, and that it’s not unconstitutional, that it’s consistent with the law,” Roberts said. “But we often have no policy views on the matter at all, and that’s an important distinction.”

The court is under heavy criticism from all sides in the presidential campaigns, with Republican Donald Trump suggesting he would appoint justices who would overturn the court’s 5-to-4 decision saying gay couples have a constitutional right to marry and Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders making a rejection of the court’s Citizen United campaign finance decision a litmus test for their potential nominees.

And before the justices adjourn in June, the court will decide a host of issues at the heart of the political debate: affirmative action in university admissions, abortion restrictions, the ability of religious objectors to opt out of the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive coverage obligation, and President Obama’s plan to shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation.

Roberts himself — once touted by Republicans as a prototypical Supreme Court nominee — has become a focus on the right. GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz, the senator from Texas, said Roberts’s nomination was a mistake, and even former Florida governor Jeb Bush, whose brother chose Roberts as chief justice, has criticized him.

The unhappiness arises basically from two of Roberts’s decisions on the same subject — finding Obama’s health-care act constitutional and then last year saving it from a potentially devastating challenge based on the language of the law...
