President Barack Obama will not attend Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral on Saturday, the White House said Wednesday. Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden will attend. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama instead will go to the Supreme Court on Friday “to pay their respects to Justice Scalia” while the justice lies in repose in the Great Hall, press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Wednesday.

McConnell just sent an email saying Repubs will not confirm a replacement for Scalia until.after 2016.

I cried when I heard that Scalia had died. I wanted to say thatI enjoy reading your posts.

It figures; he doesn’t want to step foot into a Catholic Church.

[RummyChick]

Look at the pic of the Court. It is sad to look at with the black crepe.

[Digger]

Has Obama ever set foot in a Catholic Church since he became President? He's afraid somebody might spill some holy water on him and he'd start melting.

Yes he has. Remember the funeral of the son of Joe "Bite Me"?

[Salvation]

LOL! Or exorcise him.

[mothball]

Can’t make it. He and his “boys” are having their annual Rainbow party.

[mlizzy]

At least we won't have to listen to the arrogant POS give a eulogy/speech.

Yes, big positive! Unless he sends one of those "video" messages to the funeral. Oy, vey, I wouldn't put it past him.

[freedomlover]

Maybe he’ll tweet his condolences

[EinNYC]

What? He has a date on the links? This just adds to the list of why he is a totally disgusting parody of a human being and in NO way is fit to be POTUS. He shames the office of POTUS with his low-bred trashy behavior and family. I sincerely hope that other countries realize he is on his way out and that America will hopefully have a mature and intelligent individual (provided the VOTERS choose wisely) at the helm to deal with.

[mlizzy]

Maybe! He doesn’t have an ounce of class, does he?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I suppose this child of a person considers it payback for Scalia skipping his State of the Union campaign speech.

[RummyChick]

Just saw the messed up story of Melaney Parker. Parents wanted autopsy. They would have paid for an autopsy. There was no autopsy despite being told there would be one. Oh, and the person who didn’t order Scalia’s autopsy was involved.

[grumpygresh]

Even the old time gangsters attended their victims funerals.

[hoosiermama]

My thought maybe the family has a guest list and he wasn’t invited.

[Servant of the Cross]

Good. And I hope that Mrs. Scalia asked him not to come.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

What an ass.

True, and, in front of the corpse and his grieving family, i’d not be surprised if Obola picked his nose and wiped the soles of his shoe, with the raised middle finger of his left hand.

[xrmusn]

The family probably wouldn’t go along with covering the ‘statues’, crucifixes etc and not use the word God or Jesus during the Funeral.

Every day this BO is in the spotlight, just gives US a good example to point out to our Children and Grandchildren how NOT to act - at least in public.
