RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - Gov. Pat McCrory has ordered all United States and North Carolina flags to half-staff in honor of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died over the weekend.

Flags will stay in the position until sunset on the day of his interment. Funeral details have not yet been announced.

“America has lost a giant of the US Supreme Court and a man who devoted nearly his entire adult life to public service,” the governor said of the longest serving member of the high court. “He was an unapologetic defender of the Constitution whose intellect and congeniality will be missed. Ann and I offer our deepest condolences to the Scalia family.”
