Scalia wasn't all bad. He did support gaming. But his politics were about as anti the founding principals of the USA as one could get. He was pro theological above all else - which was one of those important reasons the colonies declared war with England in 1776. He wanted and inject religion into the US Government (where it does not belong.)
He has been a terrible worry for many US Citizens the last many years. Him being gone not only eliminates his vote, but also Justice Thomas, who only twice has ever disagreed with Scalia.
Republicans will no doubt fight against whomever Obama nominates. But the process lasting more than 4 months is unlikely.
Now that he is gone, I hope we can get a reasonable thinking person to replace him.
PS RIP and peace to his friends and families.
