  • On 23 February 2016, social media users began sharing an article reporting that President Obama had signed an executive order to replace recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia with Special Envoy Rashad Hussain: There was no truth to this rumor, however. It was just a bit of fiction apparently originating with one of the clickbait fake news sites that illegally appropriate the trademarks of legitimate news organizations in order to drive traffic and thereby generate advertising revenues and spread malware. The site carries a disclaimer reading: Although the original fake news article stated that President Obama had allegedly appointed Rashad Hussein as Supreme Court Justice by an executive order, the President may only appoint to justices with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.
