She’s mot dead, she’s pinin’ for the fjords!

If no one has the guts to call her every day or week to see if she is really still alive, thee Dems would keep her corpse in the fridge at her house until after Trump leaves office if they have to.
As good a reason as many and better than most!
Thank you!
It sounds about right!
All the leaders of the nation are present: the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court Justices...
...
It’s common for one or more Justices to be absent.
Didn’t Pelosi just say no SOTU on Tuesday?
That’s true. The full contingent of the court hasn’t been present at the SOTU for many years because of concerns that a terrorist bombing could take them all out at once.
RBG is simply in a safe place, “in reserve, in case,” on life support somewhere...
“Also, why has he not already declared a National Emergency? Apparently the draft is ready. I can understand how he would rather use private contractors instead of the military.”
I don’t think anything would prevent DoD from hiring private contractors to build a barrier. I would be surprised if they didn’t.
I really don’t think the SOTU has anything to do with it, but Trump has reopened the government, so why can’t he give the speech as was intended on Tuesday?
I guess we’ll see what Pelosi has to say. If she stalls, eg. “Until we have a new budget or until the issue of the border is resolved,” that of course will be BS, and would tend to favor your viewpoint.
RBG aside, the Supreme Court will shape the nation’s future direction of governance: mob rule democracy versus a federal republic. I felt the OP was hinting that the USSC, with a majority of so called conservative justices, will be the salvation of our movement going forward. If history has taught us anything though, that is a dangerous assumption.
Riiiiiight......Everyone who wastes their time watching the SOTU breathlessly counts the number of justices in attendance. More importantly, who is sitting in which seat.
The real concern here is how they're going to be seated. Will it be first come first serve? Seniority? Age? Alphabetical or by height? As for me, I don't care. I just want to know who will be sitting in section 4, aisle 11 and seat 3.......
LMAO: I believe your Meme is right on target!
I’ve done a copy and save.
I bet the plug gets pulled either on January 20, 2021 or on January 20, 2025 (should Trump win reelection)
DC can be a place where childishness goes on permanent display, but never so graphically as at the State of the Union.
It reminds me of a high school basketball game, where the opposing fans in the stands challenge each other with "We've got spirit yes we do; we've got spirit how 'bout YOU?" and the old cheer, "Lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!"
Like I said, a childish spectacle. I wish it were not so.
from what I understand the reason that trump backed off for 3 weeks on the shut down was that the IRS did not have the personnel to process tax refunds because those who would of processed the returns would not show up to work with out a paycheck even though they had been deemed essential and expected to work during the shutdown. this is just long enough to process the returns
No they won't. Justice Alito hasn't attended a State of the Union address since 2010 and Justice Thomas seldom attends. In fact only four justices attended Trump's 2017 address.
Excellent article that puts my mind into high gear with an idea that I had not considered beforehand!
I agree - optics to the Democrats are everything - and if RBG doesn’t show up for the SOTU her absence would be noted and launch a tidal wave of commentary as to the reason for the no show.
Like Rush Limbaugh has stated on more than a few of his radio programs, “most of the liberal agenda has been enacted by the federal courts.”
