Republicans have made claims about dead people voting, now they endorse the practice!


Republican lobbyist and anti-government lawyer, Kory Langhofer, is helping to lead the GOP directly into the insane asylum by actually trying to argue that Antonin Scalia should be allowed to continue voting on SCOTUS cases while dead.

Yes, this sounds ridiculous but it isn’t a joke. He really said this in front of television cameras. Langhofer’s statement is as follows:

"There’s no Ouija board required to figure out how Justice Scalia would vote on these things, he’s already voted. We’re at the second-to-last step in how these cases unfold when Justice Scalia died. We know exactly what he thought. And it’s not unprincipled to say we should give affect to that."
