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 Obama’s speech in the Capitol, Justice Alito was affronted by the president’s 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, “that’s 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.

Good for him! I really like Alito.
Countdown to Alito being called a racist 3...2...1
It would sure be nice if Mr. Thomas et al quit “evading” a certain question too.
Libs have won this one. I think he should go there and fight. Say “you lie” or “your illegal President” or whatever, but don’t be cowardly.
I’m sure he’ll have other more important things to do instead of being insulted by the Pres__ent.
Like re-arranging his sock drawer.
Good for Justice Alito!
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Outstanding.

What exactly will that accomplish? Truth and courage will do nothing to sway the evil demented subhumans known as leftists.
We are far past the point of defeated left wing corruption and stupidity through civilized means.
FReepers ,
Please note this is OLD NEWS. LOL.
The R&D seating arrangements are meant to be a distraction from the bigger snub going to happen...
Then there was Slick Willie’s 2000 SOTU Address which the entire USSC boycotted.
Good for him!!!!!! I won’t be watching the Obo neither. Can’t stand listening to him.
I mean if the guy isn't constitutionally qualified to be the president, why would Alito attend a SOTU speech by someone who's not president?
He swore him in.
Let no bad deed remain so............
I wish he’d attend wearing an OBAMA t-shirt over his robe - one that said “One Big Ass Mistake America.”
