FOX news said they were form the three government branches. Did you hear differently? Just wondering.
It was from the House, Senate, and the President. That is why you saw Ted Stevens, Denny Haster, and then VP Cheney place the wreaths.
Supreme Court did not place a wreath. Lester Holt had on the former head of the ceremonial unit who explained everything. Holt also explained the location of the wreaths as one is pointing to the Senate side, one is pointing to the Senate side, and the final one is at the head of the casket for the President. Holt did his homework. I don't normally like to watch him, but he was very good today and had his facts including the flyover by the F-15's from Seymour Johnson -- MSNBC picked up the planes immediately and the last unit had the missing man.
Fox needed to do some research for this service! Of course, they could have looked to see who placed the wreaths and since there was no one there to place a wreath from the Judiciary that should have been a clue.
