Roberts and Alito should have led them all out the door right in the middle of the address...

That would work for me, too. But I think Roberts is too much of a class act to set precedent in this manner. Imagine what would have happened with the liberal justices during Bush's SOTU speeches.

Heh. That would've been priceless.

That said... I wonder why they're there in the first place? As far as I know the Constitution merely requires that the President make such a report to Congress. It could be in writing-- or email for that matter. There's no requirement that it be a speech, and as far as I know there's no requirement that anybody attend, let alone that people outside Congress and the Executive branches really have any point in attending at all.

It would be interesting if he decided that the Judiciary doesn't attend next year. Cite "separation of powers" or something.

Nope, too political. Somebody has to keep American nobility in place.

It won’t happen in Congress and this White House has all the communism of Hilary with none of Bill’s charm.
