Statement of Citizens United President David N. Bossie on the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia

America lost one of its treasures today with the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Since being appointed to the High Court by President Ronald Reagan thirty years ago, there was no greater defender of our justice system, the rule of law and the Constitution than Justice Scalia.

Justice Scalia was a shining example of American exceptionalism and his intellect on the bench was unmatched.

As a conservative American, I lost a hero today. Antonin Scalia can never truly be replaced and his service to our beloved country will never be forgotten.

May God bless the family of Justice Scalia at this very difficult time.
