The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was announced a short while ago and has sent shockwaves throughout the political landscape of the country.
Known as a strong defender of conservative values and the constitution Scalia was found dead at a luxury resort in west Texas after falling to appear for breakfast.
He is reported to have died of "natural causes" at the age of 79. Reaction was swift through social media with current republican frontrunner for the 2016 nomination Donald Trump tweeting "The totally unexpected loss of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is a massive setback for the Conservative movement and our COUNTRY!".
President Obama will now have the task of replacing Scalia, a decision that must be approved by the Senate.
