Obama won't attend Judge Scalia's funeral. Only to pay their respects at the high court.

A tribute to Justice Scalia

Which one is the mother for the children involved?

It seems Scalia knew what he was talking about after all. Who was present at Obergefell representing the unique rights to the marriage contract that children have?

Nobody?

Mistrial... Is Gay Marriage Void? New York v Ferber (1982) Etc.

 

[bendog]

Seems he's paying his respects the day before.

Obama will be a no-show at Scalia's funeral


(Wonder if he has a tee time he can't change?)

Given the politicization of whether he will be nominating Scalia's replacement, his appearance at the actual funeral - which is supposed to be about SCALIA - it's no slap in the face for him to more privately pay his respects the day before and send Biden.

He should have sent Biden to Thatcher's funeral though.

Yeah. I'm not attending either.

Janitorial needs come AFTER the services

So clever. Who helped you come up with that? Your bartender?

I have no words. Just sitting here shaking my head.

President will not attend requiem for Scalia

1. your source is questionable at best.
2. scalia never went to the state of the union.

i'd say they're even

now please go off on another obama deranged rant.

1. Proves you're an illiterate stooge if you think Obama is going.
2. Equating a State if the Union speech with a mans funeral. You're as classy as the little whiny girl we have as President.

Scalia openly did not like Obama

Why should Obama attend his funeral?

I don't know maybe something about being a leader rather than a petulant child

You might have a point if there was a tradition where the President always attends the funerals of Supreme Court Justices


There isn't

When is the last time a sitting president missed the funeral of a sitting justice?

What a cute nickname for the healthcare worker who helps you with your Depends.

 

[paulitician]

Scalia loved his country and vigorously defended the Constitution. That makes him a lifelong mortal enemy of this Anti-American Globalist President.

 

[Auld Phart]

The President is very aware of what a circus any event becomes when he is in attendance. Secret Service, wanding everyone for weapons, etc. etc. Maybe he just wants to spare the Scalia family that during his funeral.

Pure delusional bullshit

Could be. But I'm not opposed to entertaining that our President might be doing something thoughtful. He did when the 9-11 memorial was opened.

Last time, and only time in recent history, it happened was Rehnquist. Bush went, and spoke, but that hardly had the controversy, as apparently Roberts was already tabbed as the nominee.

Scalia is the first justice to die in a hunting lodge and not have the President attend his funeral

You fool. The source is solid. If you read the article the press was interviewing Josh Ernest. He's the one that broke the news.

Now politics aside. Judge Scalia was a loyal servant to the people of America. For thirty years.

This is a snub by Obama and totally without class. He's just showing his true colors again. Obama is just a punk from Cheeeeeeeeeeecago even after all the years in office.

How pitiful.

How is it a "classless snub" when other presidents have done the same thing

Really?

when is the last time a sitting president didn't attend the funeral of a Supreme Court Justice that died in office?

There's an extremely short list of those who died in office - not enought to claim custom or trend. Prior to Scalia...
The Political Graveyard: U.S. Justices and Judges Who Died in Office

• John Marshall, July 6, 1835
• Roger B. Taney, October 12, 1864
• Salmon P. Chase, May 7, 1873
• Melville W. Fuller, July 4, 1910
• Edward Douglass White, May 19, 1921
• Harlan F. Stone, April 22, 1946
• Fred M. Vinson, September 8, 1953
• William H. Rehnquist, September 3, 2005

The President attended Stone, Vinson, Rehnquist. Prior to that.....?

Lame

 

[rightwinger]

And if Obama did go you'd bitch about that too.

They'd find something disrespectful about his tie or the way his eyes moved, or manufacture some bullshit about the pinkie on his left hand making the sign of the Devil. Something. No doubt.

Remember that time they complained about how Obama dropped flowers on a grave?
