They refrain from applauding not to show partiality but give him a standing ovation?

Just flipped from Fox to CNN cuz I wanted to see some Dems. Sure enough, there was The Beast, once again giving her most perfunctory clap.

They can applaud the President as the President. That's not showing partiality, it's simply recognition of, and respect for, the Executive Branch. It's not like the Judicial Branch is in opposition to the Executive Branch. But particular positions he espouses, that is what they don't want to appear partial to.
