This conspiracy theory is writing itself. I personally think the Justice died of natural causes with no odd circumstances, but man, the idea that a Secret International Hunting Society was at the ranch at the same time, they wear long robes and are generally quite wealthy individuals, is crazy.

From the Post's article:
"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 Scalias death Feb. 13, the names of the 35 other guests at the remote resort, along with details about Scalias 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 groups website. Some hold titles, such as Grand Master, Prior and Knight Grand Officer. The Orders name is in honor of Hubert, the patron saint of hunters and fishermen.
Cibolo Creek Ranch owner John Poindexter and C. Allen Foster, a prominent Washington lawyer who traveled to the ranch with Scalia by private plane, hold leadership positions within the Order. It is unclear what, if any, official association Scalia had with the group."
