55 Supreme Court justices have died in the same year as their last year on the Court (link). I didn't check how many had possibly already resigned. Obviously no one actually took the time to research all 55 funerals.
Just came across your post and is this true, or are you just kidding? lol
Rehnquist was also a fine man!
It is not permissible for a Muslim to attend the funeral of a non-Muslim even if it is a relative, because attending a funeral is a right that one Muslim has over another and it is a kind of showing respect, honour and friendship that it is not permissible to show to a kaafir.Abu Taalib, the paternal uncle of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) died, and he instructed Ali to bury him, but the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not attend his funeral or his burial, even though Abu Taaliba's support and defence of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was well known, and even though the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) felt a great deal of compassion and mercy towards him. Nothing stopped him from doing that except the fact that Abu Taalib died in a state of kufr. In fact the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "I shall certainly pray for forgiveness for you so long as I am not forbidden to do so." Then the words were revealed (interpretation of the meaning): "It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allaah's forgiveness for the Mushrikoon, even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire (because they died in a state of disbelief)" [al-Tawbah 9:113] and: "Verily, you (O Muhammad) guide not whom you like," [al-Qasas 28:56].
Isn’t that Reggie’s job?
The words and actions of Traitorobama have the odor, consistency, and intellectual value of diseased human excrement.
True.
Obama hates conservatives. Everyone here knows it’s liberal elites who are the haters... and we won’t forget either...
Mooche looks like a ghetto-punk teenager.
