The family is better off. If Obama attended, he would tie up traffic for miles and suck all the air out of the occasion for the family. The Holy Spirit might even stay away if Obama were there.
only the mafia attends funerals of those they kill .......
Correction: Antonin Scalia’s funeral will not be held in the traditional Catholic Church in Virginia where he worshiped but at the National Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, presided over by Donna Cardinal Wuerl, who would probably insist on distributing the Body and Blood of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to TRUMP!!!, both Clintons, and both Obozos if they were in attendance and maybe to the dancing bears and elephants as well. Gotta be inclusive, don’tcha know? Archbishop Blase Cupich would gladly assist as would Sean Cardinal O’Malley. I also suspect that the funeral Mass will not be a Tridentine Mass and that Scalia’s priest son will not be allowed to preside.
My grandmother, and probably yours, used to say: Show me your friends and I'll tell you what you are. The reverse is also true. Show me your enemies and I'll tell you what you are. (Not you personally). If Americans United for Church and State despises Ted Cruz, then Ted can be proud of that fact. That is one more reason why I or any Christian should support him. Principled, thinking non-Christian lovers of liberty should support Ted likewise since his positions are quite compatible with their religious freedom as well.

Ted Cruz has never been a Catholic. He is a Baptist, but this Catholic is quite comfortable with a candidate who rose to the defense of the Little Sisters of the Poor, saying that when POTUS is sued by the Little Sisters of the Poor, you just know something is wrong with POTUS.
More recently, Americans United for Separation of Church and State has become a gratuitously anti-Christian organization. It is an enemy that Ted and his supporters can be justly proud of. Show me your (not you personally) friends (or your enemies) and I'll tell you what you are, as Grandma used to say.
There are some people who would call ted Cruz a "whack job" for defending Christianity ad people of other faiths as well. They are the sort who would condemn him for walking out on a funeral oration by the Marxist mass murderer, Raul Castro, who personally persecuted Teds dad when he was being tortured in Castro's prisons. Know what I mean?
To me that is crazy. As in Glenn Beck crazy. I suspect Beck told him to say it.
I think he is a phony and an opportunist.
The recent national polls tell me that I am not alone in arriving at this conclusion.
Jeff, I quit watching news TV the night Ophonybama was re-elected.
EVERY time I see him or hear him, I change the station or the channel!
Like you, I will be so glad when he is no longer in office.
Perhaps America can rebuild; I remain skeptical that we’ll be able to recover.
I wondered about that too.
Not only was Byrd a former KKK recruiter and official - he also 'brought home the bacon' to the point of embarrassment. I'm stunned Obama went to his funeral.

Being a member of the mob isn't the sign of good judgment. Remember that it was the mob chanting "Give us Barabbas!"
Mob mentality is a dangerous mindset. It's almost always based on over-the-top emotions rather than sober assessment. Just ask Reginald Denny.
“Why would anyone want this vermin to attend their loved one’s funeral? I wouldn’t even want him at a goldfish’s funeral. Even in that case, the deceased would be on a higher level than him. Better he stay away than deliver a self-adulating speech honoring himself more than the deceased.”
Lots of great comments on FR for this article. Yours is the BEST.
His favorite words, I, me, my, and mine.
After seeing the reference to Limbaugh on your about page, I won't waste my time or yours trying to explain why I will vote for Trump.
Best of luck tomorrow night to you and your candidate.
Why two funeral homes? Why not have taken Scalia’s body back to Virginia?

The Cibolo ranch is so remote that the body couldn’t have been taken to a LOCAL funeral home there?
Sure thing.
I didn’t think my disgust and distaste for this man could grow any more.
I was wrong.
LOL!
He has sized up his followers and truly understands that he has no limits placed on him. His point about shooting someone on 5th Avenue should have been taken seriously rather than laughed off. It's how he sees his supporters, and, sadly, y'all didn't recognize it for the insult that it was.
I am praying fervently that Cruz will defy the polls tomorrow night, but I'm praying more fervently that this Trump mania will end before we make the enormous mistake of electing an individual who will put the Constitutional Republic in the rearview mirror for the final time.
How do you lose a constitutional republic? The same way you eat am elephant -- one bite at a time.
