When Supreme Court justices enter the House of Representatives in their black robes for the president's next State of the Union address, Samuel Alito does not plan to be among them.
The justice said the annual speech to Congress has become very political and awkward for the justices, who he says are expected to sit "like the proverbial potted plant."
Of course, Alito did not remain impassive at the most recent State of the Union speech by President Barack Obama. He reacted to Obama's unusual rebuke of the court for its decision in a campaign finance case by shaking his head and mouthing the words "not true."

GOOD.
All nine of them should.
Let the Marxists appointed by Clintoon and BO show up, but the conservatives should stay away. The attack on the SCOTUS by this -resident should not go unanswered.
You gotta know where this whole thing is going.
Doesn’t matter. I won’t be watching.
I'm guessing that the reviews have already been written.
One thing I’ll say in Hernandez’ favor - when he addresses a campaign rally crowd, he does so without the aid of two teleprompters.
The Supreme Court’s public information office told The Hill it “could not yet confirm which justices might be attending.”
Interesting. Will Giffords show up?
Megyn Kelly on fox is reporting now that all of the conserves on the bench may sit out!
In order to help Michelle Obama promote a healthy lifestyle I propose we change the Obama SOTU drinking game from taking shot whenever he says civility, or investment to eating a celery stick.
So do I.
Agreed.
She has half a mind to attend.
Sorry, I couldn't resist...
His empty seat and voice will speak volumes!...as it should.
Great!..if they pull it off. Nice stand against the let’s all sit together and play nice in this sandbox crowd as well....love it!
The Supreme Court’s public information office told The Hill it “could not yet confirm which justices might be attending.”
I’ll go out on limb and say all 9 might be attending or might not be attending.
The SC judges were put into an awkward situation during the last speech. Legislating via the executive branch or by putting in czars to promote the socialist agenda only serves to demean the value of the legislative and judicial branches of the government. I hope that Megyn is correct and that many of them will sit it out. I also hope that the news media ends up having to report on it.
