For the President of the United States to skip the funeral of any SC Justice, retired or not is just extremely classless. I can’t say I’m surprised, but I’m definitely speechless.

“Calling history buffs.”

Who was the last president to skip requesting an autopsy for a sitting SCOTUS Justice who died suddenly with a pillow over his face?

The church told the White House its lightning rods were not large enough.

As a FYI, Sat will be a spring like day in DC Metro area. Bet he is going golfing.

Sitting or retired.

Of all that I have seen of Obama so far, this takes the cake. That classless man does not realize how much of a smoked out pothead he looks like. Imagine if Obama had died first. Do you think Justice Scalia would have skipped his funeral? It just shows what we are dealing with.

Too bad. If he went, they might sprinkle holy water on him.

Would he melt? Would he sizzle? Would he halt and catch fire?

We'll never know.

Bush attended the funeral service for Chief Justice Rehnquist, so the precedent is there. Why can’t Obama?

The good news is, that this sets a precedent.

Now if a Leftist judge dies under strange circumstances during a time when a Republican is president, he will not have to make any investigation. Saves the taxpayers a lot of money.

And note to any lurking Lefties, like the Freeper Madness folks, “O, the executive orders a Conservative will be able to get away with now!” (Evil laugh)

The Dems are too stupid to see that the other side can possibly do to them what they do to the other side.

The family, friends and patriotic admirers of Justice Scalia will not miss the attendance of B. Hussein Obama at this event. Nothing is made better by the presence of that foul man.

Funerals are boring and he might have to put on a tie.

Obama going to the Court on Friday to pay his respects.

Maybe this is a Catholic Church thing ..afraid God will smite his sorry Muslim butt - or he just has a tee time.

He knows he does not deserve to be in Scalia’s presence.
