Washington, D.C.—U.S. Senator Susan Collins released a statement on the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia:
"Justice Scalia was an American success story. His towering intellect led him to the highest court in the land where he was highly influential in the Court's decisions. He was also known for his love of life, and even those who disagreed vigorously with him enjoyed his wit and convivial company. His passing is a loss to his family and friends, the Court, and our country," said Senator Collins.
