In a final show of disrespect, Barack Obama has decided to skip the funeral of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Instead, he will send Vice President Joe “handsy” Biden in his stead.
Rather, the president and Michelle said they plan to go to the Supreme Court to pay their respects on Friday.
Scalia lies in repose in the Great Hall, Politico is reporting.
The last time a supreme court justice passed away was when Chief Justice William Rehnquist passed away in 2005. Then, President George W. Bush not only attended the funeral, but eulogized the judge.
Scalia’s death has ripped open a political seam after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell almost immediately issued a statement calling for Scalia’s replacement to be delayed until the next president is decided. The White House has promised to nominate someone before the election.
There’s no word from White House Press Secretary has planned on Saturday – the day of the funeral – that interferes with the memorial. I’m sure he was planning a round of golf or some such nonsense.
