http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/wtf-arizona-lawyer-says-scalia-can-vote-from-the-grave-to-keep-supreme-court-conservative/snip:
Anti-government attorney Kory Langhofer argued over the weekend that the Supreme Court could continue to decide cases 5-4 in favor of conservatives after the death of Antonin Scalia because the deceased justice could effectively cast votes from the grave.
Theres no Ouija board required to figure out how Justice Scalia would vote on these things, hes already voted, Langhofer told KPNX during a panel discussion on Sunday. Were at the second-to-last step in how these cases unfold when Justice Scalia died.
Nothing new here. Thomas has appeared dead, brain or otherwise, on the bench for 20 years.
