Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said, I doubt that I will be there in January.
We have to sit there like the proverbial potted plant, Alito said, and provoked howls of laughter from the crowd when he deadpanned that the justices who are more disciplined refrain from manifesting any emotional opinion whatsoever.
It was a self-deprecating remark; in January, as he sat near the podium during Obamas speech in the Capitol, Justice Alito was affronted by the presidents charge that the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections.
Videotape of the event shows Alito wincing, then apparently saying, thats simply not true. Directly behind Alito, Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Senate Democratic Caucus vice chairman Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., the second and third ranking Democrats in the Senate, gleefully took to their feet and cheered as Alito and the five other justices in attendance remained seated, looking uncomfortably intimidated.

I won’t be watching the SOTU to know whether Alito will be there or not. I am already sad and mad enough about the state of the Republic; I don’t need to hear more statist plans from 0bama.
I appreciate what he did last year for sure!
I’m happy he won’t be at the “love-in”.
However, isn’t one of the members of the SCOTUS supposed to be absent in case something happens?
Or, maybe I’m thinking of something else.
Now MY link works, but yours doesn’t.
It’s a FOX Conspiracy, I tells ya! A CONSPIRACY! :)
Either way, this guy just needs to stay in his office for one solid week and get some actual work done!
I kind of like seeing Justice Alito shake his head and mouth the words "No" to the things BO has to say. I'll miss that.

NEVER FORGET

During the 1960s I personally witnessed several new Mommies coming in to ship their cars back to Hawaii (via Matson Lines http://www.Matson.com ) shortly after their giving birth elsewhere, inside or outside the Mainland United States.
These new Mommies were told by other Mommies present to just go to the Honolulu Officals and proclaim that thier newborns were born in Hawaii and a Birth Certificate showing so would be automatically produced.
It was THAT commonplace ..and well known about by many.. back then..!!!
This was during a 9-10 year window after Hawaiian Statehood when they could get away with it.
