So? Why don't the Sunday talking heads ask the question? ....

Why were there missing Supreme Court Justices from the inauguration? And, WHY?

1. The three oldest members decided not to attend because of covid.

It wasn't political. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/20/supreme-court-justices-inauguration-460740

2. Thanks, does that include Thomas?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Yes.

Justices Stephen Breyer, 82; Clarence Thomas, 72; and Samuel Alito, 70, all opted to skip the inauguration, according to Supreme Court spokesperson Kathleen Arberg.

6. Ok ... allayed my worries

Anyway, I kind of felt a little sorry for SC amy comey barret... she looked so pathetic standing out in the cold all alone by herself at the inauguration . ... Her eyes told the story above her COVID mask. She looked very afraid. Why? This is democracy in action. I don't know ... this peaceful exchange of power was just weird. I want more declarations from every corner of our gov. and elected rep. that this election is legit as we know it is. The lies need to stop about the election being stolen or rigged in Biden's favor.

4. Since he is over 70, he could use COVID as a reason, however, other justices with pre-existing

conditions which put them at higher risk were there also

5. Isn't one usually missing from such ceremonies?

A designated survivor thing?
