I think that's natural – and ultimately the big story. But that's going to take a while to sort out, and there's a lot of other news about him, his impact, people's very divided opinions of him, reactions, etc.
Maybe a good News on Wikipedia for next week, Mr. Sutherland?

Yeah, most news outlets in the UK seem to be using the "Now Obama has a chance to appoint a new one" line, which does feel like jumping in the man's grave a bit.

Yeah, I think too soon is a fair argument for that, I was more thinking about in the coming days as that discussion begins in earnest in the public sphere. (on a personal side I told myself "this feels horrible to say so soon..." for about 3 minutes before I started talking to someone about the political side of it... granted I'm weird ;)"

I thought about posting that article (and it is what everyone is talking about), but could be seen as "too soon"? Main SCOTUS is darn good, and better for global audience, seems like? Doing that in a bit.
Thanks all. Good to have feedback.

Yeah, I think that's good, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appointment_and_confirmation_to_the_Supreme_Co... will become useful in the near future too I imagine. Not the best article but not bad and a couple folks have already started making small tweaks, I imagine it will get cleaned up a bit as it gets attention.
