I thought it was customary for one member of each branch not to attend.

So this year three members of the SupremeCourt decided not to go. Why should they? Obama uses his speeches to castigate them.

There are a lot more things to worry about rather than who goes to hear the ramblings of this President. I bet most Americans didn’t watch.

RE: Why should they? Obama uses his speeches to castigate them.

I was half expecting Obama to praise the SCOTUS for not stopping Obamacare (in fact, I was half expecting him to point towards John Roberts in the process ).

They didn't. Ratings for the SOTU were way down, even with five networks broadcasting it live.

I would be interested to know how UPN/Paramount's syndicated reruns of House did against Barky in that time slot.
