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.

Mitch could earn some serious redemption points if he holds to this.

I bet he wouldn’t miss Farakhan’s funeral or Soro’s funeral. Which I hope we soon find out in both cases.

The corrupt media will never let the public know that her royal $h!tface will be doing something else that he considers more important than going to the funeral.

If that sonofabitch showed up at my funeral I’d resurrect and.... I should just stop right there.

Makes sense. I wouldn’t attend 0bama’s funeral...

Except afterwards, when I would piss on his grave.

Did you hear that Fonda?

Someething else that cracks me up with this pig. He stands and spouts the Constitution in the fact that it is within his CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS to appoint a justice and the SENATES is constitutionally required to vote on it BUT, the 2nd Amendment is wrong and needs to be changed.

Exactly what I am thinking. Demons find the presence of holiness unendurable.

If you get a good answer, please ping me to it.

I'm sure it will be a Catholic Funeral Mass, and the Devil's minions had those.

Maybe he’ll tweet his condolences

With the obligatory pic of himself, of course.

He did attend at least one. There is a Getty image of Eisenhower attending Supreme Court Justice Fred M. Vinson’s funeral.

Wonder if he was asked by the family not to come?

I don’t think Scalia would have wanted him there. I wouldn’t want him anywhere near mine.

The family, friends and patriotic admirers of Justice Scalia will not miss the attendance of B. Hussein Obama at this event. Nothing is made better by the presence of that foul man.

My sentiments exactly.

That is one reason why I prefer private memorials. The thought of certain people who might attend, for one or another reason of protocol, looking down on MDB is nothing short of creepy.

Lincoln issued an arrest warrant for Chief Justice Roger Taney because Taney wrote an opinion disagreeing with Lincoln’s Suspension of Habeas Corpus. A lot of presidents since the Founding have thought they were kings and didn’t to answer to anyone, especially the Constitution.

That’s true. However, this is just plain insulting and was meant to be so. Presidents go to the funerals of Supreme Court Justices, whether they like them or not.
