He’ll show up later to dance on his grave, no doubt.

Sure the Scalia family won’t miss him. Has Obama ever set foot in a Catholic Church since he became President? Guess it was a condition of the deal he made with the Devil to become President.

Do tell.

Is it because he may be a “person of interest”?

He won’t miss you, bub (Obama). He’s already doing great good in heaven, while you’re still a schmuck on this earth.

Obama better be careful when he dies, Scalia might
not come to his funeral, as Yogi Berra said.

Plus it will cut into the ability for those that were planning to attend the viewing at the Supreme Court. The “little people” will get pushed aside to accommodate his holiness.
