Scalia: State of the Union ‘a childish spectacle’
Ultraconservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia missed the Tuesday night State of the Union speech, and instead used a speech across town in Washington, D.C., to describe the annual SOTU ritual in the House chamber as “a childish spectacle” to which he would not lend dignity.
Supreme Court justices are usually seated down front at the president’s annual speech: President Obama used the SOTU in 2010 to strongly criticize the Supremes’ “Citizens United” ruling, while blew away regulation that went back 103 years to Teddy Roosevelt and unleashed unlimited, unregulated campaign spending by secretive “SuperPACs.”
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito shook his head, and was lip-read to say “not true” in response to Obama’s criticism of the high court’s 5-4 decision.
Of State of the Union, Scalia told Smithsonian Associates: “It has turned into a childish spectacle. I don’t want to be there to lend dignity to it.” Scalia was named to the high court in the 1980s by President Reagan.

I'll bet Fat Tony would have had no problem attending a Rmoney SOTU... and he can't "lend dignity to it" because he has none to lend.

That is one funny line
"lend dignity" to it?
Dude, you with your fake 15th-century Thomas More wannabe hat and your Mini-Me, Clarence Thomas, don't have any dignity to lend. Fat phony intellectual poseur.

But what does one expect from these dicks? Anything less and I'd be disappointed!

Justice Ginsberg predicted will be overturned like other erroneous SCOTUS decisions have been, better get used to begin outvoted: President Obama is likely to appoint two justices and the Democratic president after him will probably have the opportunity to put at least two more on the bench.
Just like the entire country, the Supreme Court is going full Blue as time goes by. And when it does, the 2nd amendment will be properly re-interpreted to apply as it was meant: to "well-regulated" national guards. 
spectacle, and in his worst moments, has shamelessly inflicted irreparable damage: he is, imo, a festering cancer that has metastasized upon America's heritage, the rule of law, and core values.
