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."

GOD I hope this is true.
Hmm... not cool...
I wasn’t off by much:
here’s my prediction from January 19th...
Obama in SOTU - Means Test SS?
“I wonder how many times Obummer will reference the Tuscon killings. And being there when Gabbie Gifford opened her eyes. {sniff}
He’ll probably have the parents of the cute little girl sitting next to his wife...as he declares the need for greater gun control laws.”
I hope so. Maybe it will diminish the stupidity of the Pubs that are gonna play nice with the Demons and sit with them. What a bunch of idiots!
Alito: a pleasant surprise from GWB!!!!
Justices Roberts and Alito are the best reminders of why we need a Republican, hopefully a conservative Republican, in the White House, no matter what.
I wish abc nbc cbs and the rest would sit this one out. All it will be is a load of BS.
She needs to fly across country just to hear Obummer like she needs another hole in her....nevermind.
My guess is 4 will attend, 4 will not and Kenedy will wander in and out not sure what to do.
I just heard Ann Compton on local radio (560 WGAN Portland Maine)report that Sam Alito will be giving his own address...
In Hawaii!
Now it appears Scalia won’t be attending either.
