It would be nice if there was any way to replace bad justices short of hoping they were dead, because while I didn't wish the guy any personal ill will I did want him off the court pretty badly but in reality there's no way to separate the two.

This has been my take on it. Not that he cared, but he had two ways of removing his awful opinions from the national stage: retirement and death. I would have been happy with either and he chose death, so I am happy.

It also makes decisions against businesses almost impossible since somebody gave money to the judge and it's probably not you

This is an emerging problem in arbitration, so I can't imagine it being any different if a regular judge is involved.

I've got a radical conspiracy theory for you guys: perhaps this 79 year old overweight man who smoked and had sleep apnea could conceivably have died of natural causes? After all, Scalia could have forgotten to take his daily dose of super secret magic potion that makes conservatives immune to natural deaths.

Pure applesauce.
