Justice Scalia spent his last hours with members of this secretive society of elite hunters

[joeybee12]

When Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died 12 days ago at a West Texas ranch, he was among high-ranking members of an exclusive fraternity for hunters called the International Order of St. Hubertus, an Austrian society that dates back to the 1600s.

After Scalia’s death Feb. 13, the names of the 35 other guests at the remote resort, along with details about Scalia’s connection to the hunters, have remained largely unknown. A review of public records shows that some of the men who were with Scalia at the ranch are connected through the International Order of St. Hubertus, whose members gathered at least once before at the same ranch for a celebratory weekend.

Members of the worldwide, male-only society wear dark-green robes emblazoned with a large cross and the motto “Deum Diligite Animalia Diligentes,” which means “Honoring God by honoring His creatures,” according to the group’s website. Some hold titles, such as Grand Master, Prior and Knight Grand Officer. The Order’s name is in honor of Hubert, the patron saint of hunters and fishermen.

Nutjobs...read the whole thing, they're basically into "canned hunts"

1. Honor god's creatures by murdering them with huge guns in controlled areas where

the animnal has no fucking chance of survival

Sick fuck, sick sick fucks, all of them.

It is an OUTRAGE he was on the court, and it is equally outraging any of the other 3 radical cons are.

7. Of course

Up is down for these scumbags

2. I suspect they are really devoted to the supremacy of white males

doing whatever white males like to do when not observed by anyone not in their club.

I still think too many little blue pills were involved in Scalia's death. No autopsy to prove otherwise.

3. Dying in an enclave of the imperially rich and powerful

No doubt he would have wanted it that way

4. I like Krugman's title better: Antonin Scalia Really Was A Character Out Of A Dan Brown Novel

5. I

I guess it's better (and safer) than hunting with Cheney.

I don't have a problem with hunting but honoring God's creatures by killing them? How does the group honor mankind?

6. They probably didn't want an Autopsy because drugs likely contributed to his death

Can't have it coming out that traces of cocaine was found in his system.

8. Hopefully Scalia's death will shed some light on this cult.

Or maybe they'll pull a Tyler Durden:

9. So it was a Costumed Orgy with him as the centerpiece? No wonder he died.

10. An Austrian secret society, huh?

You know who else was Austrian?
