Missouri GOP Statement on the Passing of Justice Scalia

Missouri Republican Party Chairman John Hancock released the following statement on the passing of US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia:

“Justice Scalia is one of the most consequential figures in our nation’s history, and his passing is a loss for the Court, the conservative movement, and the country. It is difficult to overstate the profound impact he had on our political discourse and American public policy.  Thanks to his sharp intellect and outsized personality, Justice Scalia influenced a generation of legal scholars, lawyers, and judges, so his judicial philosophy will certainly live on, and his opinions—well-reasoned, witty, and brilliant—will be studied for years to come.”
