ANTONIN SCALIA
1936–2016
Hello Seniors,
Yesterday morning the casket of, Justice Antonin Scalia, was brought into The Supreme Court Great Hall.
A very sad day and a great loss to our Nation.
As I think about Justice Antonin Scalia, I think of a great man who served his country like no other.
He loved, America, without reservation and so loved the Constitution and our Fore Fathers before us.
He protected America by using The Constitution as his guide. Justice Antonin Scalia will go down in History as one of the greatest Justices who served on The Supreme Court.
He left a Legacy to all of us that said, The Constitution should be followed without addition or obscure interpretation and must never be changed.
America is protected by the Constitution and it is clear and concise, The people of America
must protect it.
We, The People, must vote out the people who speak against The Constitution.
They are the spoilers that want to diminish our America as we know it.
Feeling the sadness for a great man, I would like to share a poem and dedicate it to
Justice Antonin Scalia.
AN ANGEL ASCENDS TO THE HEAVENS
An Angel ascended to the heavens
On this dayAlways in our hearts
you will stayLike a Pillar that stands
in the clouds high aboveWe feel your presence and
your loveWe know you are not too
far awayAs you ascend to the heavens
On this dayWe thank God for knowing you
nothing takes that awayFor you were a blessing to have
and to holdAnd your story of life will always
be toldAs we celebrate who you are
we will prayAn Angel ascended to the heavens
On this day
