Don't look now, but Drudge is pushing the "Scalia was murdered" meme

He's redlined things like "Update: 'It wasn't a heart attack'" which links to a WaPo article that says no such thing and in big red letters he has "Scalia Found Dead With Pillow Over Head".

We're in for a wacky ride since there was no autopsy (perfectly legal in Texas).

our species on the whole seems more apt to believe something if there is LESS, or no, evidence for it........... and the more evidence there is for something, the less likely we are to believe it (believe the evidence is fabricated).

Is supposed to be an autopsy. I read he died from a heart attack with his arms folded across his chest and without disturbance of covers.

Somewhere there has to be blame on Obama or Hillary as a conspiracy so Obama could nominate another SC judge. I am thinking there will be more hearings into Democrats trying to rig the system and load the SC with nothing but liberals, the GOP would never
Load the court with conservatives. Trust them.

I have no idea if he smokes in bed, but what if he had dropped a lit one while having angina and the attack?

Or is it Obama according to Drudge? I'm actually quite shocked that they're not trying to tie this to Clinton, they do everything else.

12. There should always be an autopsy when someone very high-level is found dead

Yes, he was a bit overweight, but he looked great for 79. Calling for an autopsy isn't CT nutcase stuff. Just accepting his death without saying what caused it is ludicrous.
