In a move that has shocked critics and breaks at least 65 years of tradition, President Barack Obama has announced he has zero intention of attending Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral on Saturday.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest on Wednesday admitted he didn’t have a sense for what the president was planning to do instead of paying his respects to Scalia.
When pressed whether Obama would be playing golf, Earnest refused to rule it out.
Earnest went on to say that Obama would send Vice President Joe Biden in his place, and Obama will only attend Scalia’s Friday wake.
Though it’s not uncommon for past presidents to miss the funeral of retired justices, Obama’s move is a break of 65 years of tradition by his predecessors of attending the funerals of sitting Supreme Court justices.
Scalia died on Saturday at age 79. He joined the court in 1986 and was its longest-serving justice.
Former Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who died in 2005, was the last member of the high court to lie in repose. Then President George W. Bush not only attended, but also eulogized Rehnquist at his funeral.
But before him, the last justice to die in office was Robert H. Jackson in 1954. His funeral was attended by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Picking a replacement for Scalia during an election year has become a serious point of contention between Obama and Congressional Republicans. In the past, the pace of judicial confirmations has slowed in presidential election years, thanks to reluctance by the party out of power in the White House to give lifetime tenure to their opponents’ picks.
Previously, lawmakers have sometimes informally agreed to halt hearings on lower court nominations during campaign season.
Obama has announced his intention to ignore this tradition as well, saying “the Supreme Court’s different” and that he still plans to nominate a replacement for Scalia with “plenty of time” for the Senate to act.
The Associated Press contributed to this article.
He should attend the funeral. The big competition is on to see which party can get the right political hack in a robe to get on the bench.
He is an ass,You think he cares about the funeral or paying respect to him and his family.If the guy was black or mooslime he camp out at it.He is nothing but a muslim and a traitor to the American people
Unfortunately have to agree 100%. It ashame that we reelected him
Why are we surprised that Obama is insulting us by not attending the funeral of a true hero? Did he not return the bust of Winston Churchill to England?
WE DIDN’T ELECT HIM. A bunch of like-minded morons did.
NEGATIVE; His election was rigged. Illegal votes were written in. Foreign immigrants
were paidd to vote. Multi[le votes were made by corrupt people ( some working within
the voting location, signing people in ). In several states, there were more votes, for
obuma, than there are eligible voters, in the precincts, where they voted ( anf, NO votes,
at all, for the opponent ). The machines were calibrated and programmed, by a company
in Italy, which is owned by a personal friend of obuma’s.
Check it out. It’s facts, galore. Now; do you think, we voted him in ?
Hell no. He’s not legal now; and, he never was.
Bob Marcum, his entire Presidency is like that–nothing but corruption, lies, and CRIME. Every part of his administration is corrupt, his Presidency is illegitimate and everything ABOUT him is made-up fiction and LIES. The Dempcrats are committing massive voter fraud and every OTHER sort of crime right under everybody’s NOSES, and the media and Republicans who SHOULD be outing him for the crook that he is just turn a blind eye. I’m convinced the Republicans in Congress have been either BOUGHT or BLACKMAILED into silence.
I agree 200%. It’s too late to impeach him. He’d ride it out to the end of his term.He should pack his bags & get the hell out of Dodge. Would be good riddance!!
It’s not to late to at least file the Articles of Impeachment to show the American People just how many laws he has broken. They may at least think twice about their 2016 votes. They didn’t obviously think at all for 2012. I understood 2008, but the 2012 votes are the ignorant ones.
It’s called voter fraud and Black Panther intimidation.
Absolutely agree. Should have started Articles if Impeachment and hope that will be his legacy.
He is by far the biggest this country ever made in electing him into office! I won’t call him a president that would be a slap in the face of REAL AMERICANS who held that position. I hope those that voted for him not once but twice get what they deserve and take hillary with them
He is by far the biggest mistake this country has ever voted into office! I can’t even call him a President that would be a slap in the face of REAL AMERICANS who have held that position.
I hope all those who voted for him not once but twice. Really get what they deserve. For electing some who could ruin a country in 7 years. I will never say I am ashamed of being an American. Because of what one person clearly as unqualified as those that elected him.
was the o elected or just stole the office, like killer is going to do SOON!!
I won’t say who thought of it first, but he is an “imposter-in-chief”, or one might say the elephant in the oval office.
So you are upset? Now you know what it feels like to us who have endured all the other presidents some we couldn’t even vote for until 1960’s-if any of them knew what they were doing we wouldn’t be trillions of dollars in debt to other countries-but that’s what happens when you blame everybody but the American people who look the other way when corruption took over this country many years ago!!!! You got what you deserved!!!! We was forced to live here without any rights until recently how can could we change this mess in a few decades that took centuries to develop! It’s going to take more than the blame game to change this countries problems! Start with yourself & fix yourself first!!!
Actually I voted for Obama twice and do not support Hillary as she is both too conservative and too entitled. As for the President attending Scalia’s funeral, many of Scalia’s supporters strongly dislike the President and people on the right have accused him of murdering Scalia. I can’t imagine that most readers of this article really want the President to attend
I am a very Proud Black MAN, obama is neither, neither proud nor black, he is in fact an insult to my wonderful nation and in particular to black America. obama is a foolish narcissistic fop, who uses hi skin color ONLY for self protection, when attacked from legitimate sources. NO BLACK MAN would ever or could ever be such a sissified coward..I say IMPEACH his sorry ass!.
REPLY TO MIKE AMAN
Agree!! Pure trash!!!
Why is it too late to impeach this person called a President!!!!?????
And Hillary says she agrees with him…..can’t believe the stupidity of
people that just love them!!!!
A TOTALLY CLASSLESS BASTARD who is obviously in the wrong job this is no different than when he continued playing golf whe he was notified that an American was beheaded in the middle east he has absolutely no clue about what is proper or the right thing to do but when you know that scalia was a catholic and Obama is muslim it explains the whole thing he has absolutely no clue about any type of Christian ceremonies or churches however he is one rude and self centered jerk most past presidents would have made the attendee not because of a different religion but because it is the right thing to do and it give the man the kind of respect he deserves. of course Obama is in a rush to fill that space on the court because if he does he can finish the rest of his warped agenda that he has been forcing on every American for the past 7 years keeping most americans dependent on the feds for their needs and by electing his own he can continue keeping this selfish motive in the process and leave the mess to his successor it is definitely wrong but it stills leaves a lot of unfinished business he just shows a severe lack of interest in the feelings of the family of these public servants who have rerved their country with a great deal of interest and have used their energy to be of service to the citizens of this country. this is nothing compared to his total inconsideration for the families of the victims of the Benghazi massacre luckily he has a great stand in in joe biden. and he can dump on him any time he likes
Not only is he responsible (how many times did he say the “buck stops here”) for the lives lost in Benghazi, but he was disrespectful by covering up the reasons because it was right before election the next month. He has his legacy sewed up, and has had for a long time, THE #1 WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!!
Unfortunately, people not only got suckered into voting him in office not only once, but twice. I grew up learning by my mistakes. God knows I made plenty, but never the same one twice. Now, many of those who put Obama in office are going to put Hillary or Sanders in office, or at least try. Obama has taken a position that deserves respect, gives respect, cares for Americans and demonstrates the protocols of being president and has made the position of president look like The CEO of Chucky Cheese. Not disrespecting Chicly Cheese, but the president is a public, proper, and formal position. Doesn’t make being president appealing for young folks to desire to be president
AMEN TO THAT,A PISSED OFF VET!
Let’s not give Obama or Michelle credit for lying or for deliberately insulting people. Instead, let’s just admit that we, the American people, elected a hopelessly ignorant jerk to the highest office in our land. Shame on us.
BULLS EYE !!!
neither one of them has any class and should know better where or what you were taught growing up you should have a sense of right and wrong but apparently neither 1 of them has any kind of class I have never seen any government official as lacking in proper etiquette as they are hopefully their daughters will have learned the right way,
muslime are never taught nothing but screw a goat and murder people while the hands are tied. what bravery for all these pos muslimes.
Who did the girls learn from? Monkey see, monkey do, children are the mirrors of their parents.
Blame yourself Marcia because I did not vote for him either time. Before the first election I said he reminded me too much of Adolph Hitler and so far he has gone by Hitler’s play book word for word and most of America is too stupid or ignorant of history to realize it.
i sure as hell didn’t vote for IT. please don’T USE THE TERM WE ELECTED IT. THAT IS AN INSULT!!!!!!!!
I didn’t vote for it either. It was elected by uninformed voters, bused-in voters, dead people voting, and people voting more than one time – plus rigged voting machines. Where are our elected officials who should have revealed the fraud and done something to correct it? AND, those of you who stayed home because you couldn’t/wouldn’t vote for a Mormon, even though he would have done a good job, hang your heads in shame. You betrayed your own country.
I was not EVER seated by Obama!! Never ever voted for him, because I felt he wasn’t qualified to be a President. Being a senator who rarely showed up to vote on matters proved his incompetence and arrogance!!
Absolutely true!
Mike, you are the first person that has called Obama by the name that I have given him, Traitor! When I write I usually just put a capital T. when I refer to O. By all he has done to this country and against America, yes he is a Traitor. He listened to Rev. J. White preach about GD White America for years so it is no wonder he hates America. I was going to vote for him until I had to come to the conclusion that he is a Black Racist.
Jacqueline – I purposely do not capitalize the “o” in obama, if I did it was my mistake and people should understand I do not have any respect for him whatsoever. I was willing to give him a chance to prove me wrong. It’s unfortunate.
The American people are to blame for putting his highness obama in office and he knows it that’s why he is milking it along with his “race” card….the word “racism” plays well for “blacks” and most “white privilege” people are soooo politically correct to call him out on it.
amen!!!
You’re soooo right Mike. Hussein isn’t good enough to wear Antonin Scalias old shoes!!!!! Cutting back 90,000,000 in anti terror funding to NY while he and his family spend 11,000,000, trips!!!!! HOW OH HOW COULD WE BE SO WRONG!!!! Should a put Sharpton or Farakhan in the White House. At least we KNOW they hate white folks.
We knew he hated white folks before he was elected the first time. He had already said in his book about his old man that he developed a STRONG hatred for his mother’s people by the time he was 12. And yet a lot of white American’s voted for him and still think he walks on water. Pure IDIOTS.
My Mom and I were emailing the other day and I remarked that Dad always spoke highly of Judge Scalia and that Ronald Reagan had been the President who had nominated him. I also said they, meaning my Dad, were of the same cloth. He had great respect for this Judge and he was right. For President Obama to disrespect Judge Scalia enough to pass on attending his funeral says alot about himself. I even have less respect for him now than ever before. Enough…
But instead he announce a vacation trip to Cuba in March 2016, to kiss Raul and Fidel Castro, with Michelle. He loved Karl Max, Lenin, Stalin and of course the Castros
You are absolutely on. He should be impeached. He and his wife have perpetuated racism and terrorism not only in America but throughout the world. The minorities got screwed by him and they don’t even realize it. He and his wife are the most disrespectful leaders in the world. They are lower than whale shit at the bottom of the ocean. Just look how he let Americans die
in Benghazi. If one of his daughters was there he would of sent everyone and their brothers there. He is a disgrace to black Americans and a hero to his Muslim heritage and ISIS.
Bernie, I don’t know about that, because I doubt either ONE of those kids are his, or MOO-chelle’s, either. There is no record MOO-chelle ever gave birth to ANYTHING, no baby pictures,of the girls. Helll, we don’t even know that MOO-chelle is a WOMAN. Joan Rivers said she is a tranny, and shortly after that, mysteriously DIED during minor surgery that doctors could NOT explain how it KILLED HER. MOO-chelle was doing her hoochie mama thing dancing on some other show in a pair of white pants, and it sure looked like a bulge in the right place for man parts. I suspect the whole family is a gigantic sham designed to make him look less perverted, more “normal” and therefore more electable. The kids were most likely adopted or BOUGHT in Africa.
I have always figured if we actually knew the TRUTH about this unholy pair, it nwould curl our hair!
@Mike yep you hit the nail on the head,but to be honest I think its a good chance he was murdered,maybe that’s why Obama doesn’t want to go
Why should the idiot attend? Funny how the main court Judge who believed in and defended the Constitution died under mysterious circumstances, and no investigation or autopsy was performed, in the last year of his term so he can try to push through another one of his anti- American and anti-Constitution judges like the last two he got passed. Same as the woman who certified his phony birth certificate died at a young age of a heart attack within six months of the certification. But of course he had nothing to do with it. A so called heart attack is the easiest death to fake if someone knows what they are doing.
Why do everyone bash President Obama for every thing, if you feel like he should go. Why don’t you fill in and take his place and leave the man alone. One day when U stand before God you will have to answer for all your words N bashing.instead why not pray for him’ our country and your self. God bless you.
Obama is a Muslim and Justice Scalia’s family should ask him, no, demand that he not attend anything that has to do with the justice. Obama is a disgrace and should be impeached so he can not draw retirement. He tries to cut Social Security, money we paid in, and lines his pockets every chance he gets. If congress does not move against him, all of the congressmen in office now should be removed. All of them, republican and democrate alike are a bunch of muslim loving money grubbers and thieves.
And this is the nice things I think of our government….LOL
You are correct.
The current president is a disrespectful person who only cares about bringing American down, since many officials are Muslim, like himself.
The HMIC is so disgusting as a person, That must be how Mulsan families show respect or is that disrespect. His mother must have really been some teacher or mentor. Maybe he only goes to Black Funerals because Black Lives Matter so much.
your God damn right
The only thing that you
Know about President Obama is that he is Black. And that’s the I problem with your and the other idiots in your gang! Intellect thwarted by an inability to reason. You and your kind are perfect example of what happens when a mind goes to waste. Two things you should be aware of in this life: Dixie IS DEAD! And you cannot turn back the hands of time! Blacks are human beings, possessed of intellect and have done and created many things that have made life on this planet better. If he doesn’t want to go to Scali’s funeral, that’s his decision to make! Damn what you think! I am so glad the revolution is coming and won’t be televised! In case you did t notice, you’re in the minority now! Pitting other minorities against blacks won’t help your cause. #fools #idiots #morons #dunderpates
He went to freddy grey and travon martin didn’t he?
YOU ARE 1000% CORRECT. HE HAS BEEN THE MOST PARTISSEN PRESIDENT IN MY LIFE TIME. i DON’T THINK JIMMY CARTER OR BILL CLINTON WOULD NOT GO
Actually he,Obama, is a very ignorant SOB, always has been and will always be. He also has been spoiled by everyone that he meets, because they think they will get something from him, and if they put out for him, they usually do.He is nothing more than an ignorant A–hole.
Stop being pc….we all know he is a complete asshole! Now finish telling us how you (we) really feel about our illustrious liar, scam artist, president…
No one cares about your personal feelings, they’re yours and completely belong to you and you can do what you will with them. I’ve seen many anuses, and none of them look like Obama! Have you checked your own lately?
Obama is an ass —dumb as dirt–
@spergus,Oh hes not dumb,how do you think he got to do the criminal things hes done,hes very smart and decietful
I think Obama is a traitor to the country, I think there is some thing going on about the murder of the judge And OBAMA I think is involved with it or even had it done, Obama hated the judge so you take it from here.
Why would this traitor attend the funeral of justice Scalia?
Obama was responsible for his death.
It may never come out but the cover-up goes all the way to the top.
No autopsy, no investigation, and a immediate cremation to destroy any evidence of foul play.
Any dumb ass can see the evil that exists here just like the dozens of mysterious unexplained deaths during the. Clinton administration.
LIKE MR. FOSTER?
@Mike,i totally agree
Like Hell he couldn’t hold a candle to Scalia!
He is a true muslim scum bag
I doubt he was wanted there!
I agree with you, and most likely Obama would say something to insult the family. It is a shame our Congress hasn’t removed Obama from office.
It’s time we the people give our country a complete enema !!!the Federal Judge is dead that is a fact /reported by the media with a pillow over his head from a heart attack as stated!!??But the question is did he have islamic or government assistance in his death???? sounds like another cover-up /
Has anyone absolutely verified this is true or are we all jumping to conclusions…..again?
Well, his paid spokesweasel Josh Earnest had a press conference yesterday and was stammering around trying to make excuses why Obama would not attend, but couldn’t seem to come up with any, or perhaps just did not want to admit the self-centered SOB was playing golf that day and couldn’t be bothered with anything as trivial as attending the funeral of the longest-serving Supreme Court Justice, who, I might add, attended ALL of Obama’s State of the Union LIE-FESTS, even though I am QUITE sure Scalia did not like Obama anymore than Obama liked him.
Sciala was a true intelligent American, not a servant Muslim educated son of….. Muslim father
Scalia was a racist pig who shouldn’t have been a supreme court justice with the kind of attitude he held for minorities. If I were President Obama I wouldn’t attend his funeral either. As for some of the comments here against the President, you crazy people will never learn. You all were so afraid when a black man entered the White House your payback was coming. Don’t worry it’s coming, but not through President Obama. The Republicans have a lot coming for you if they win.
AWW Come on…Basically thee are TWO reasons which Supersede BHO-ZO priorities
1) GOLF naturally
2) Scalia WAS a conservative WHITE man
Most likely BOTH, Redhawk.
What do you expect from Obama. He didn’t attend the Arlington Cemetery funeral of the highest ranking Officer since Korea last year. Neither did Hillary or Joe Biden. Hopefully, the powers that be will not consider the jerk for a replacement Justice?
Obama is a classless, worthless, muslim toad who should understand that he’s nothing but pond scum. I hope he will enjoy lying in repose when he dies and everyone spits on his worthless body.
What a disrespectful piece of human waste!
Sadly, that is unlikely to happen. But if it ever did,. all the Supremes should refuse to attend HIS funeral as payback for this BLATANT sign of disrespect to the longest-serving Justice. He is such a no-class, petty, and vindictive little creep that I constantly feel EMBARRASSED that Americans were actually STUPID enough to elect THAT President. Got no help from me on that. I did not vote for him EITHER time, and urged everyone I knew to do the same.
True he is a fake disgusting Pres. I ever saw.It shows his real soul,no decency a d shame on the whole country,that elected him.
You took the words out of my mind !!!! There is no excuse for anyone like Obama !
i have lost all respect for all politicians in office at this time. and i do not trust any of them.
not one person has enough balls to make a legal challenge against this president because he is black.
WE NEED TO IMPEACH THIS JUDGE MURDERING, CONSTITUTION CHANGING PIECE OF CRAP !!!
ask why no medical examiner ever saw the body, and no autopsy. and WHY HE WAS FOUND WITH A PILLOW OVER HIS HEAD!!! they never even checked to see if he was smothered to death !!!! WHY NOT ????
i mean he was found with A DAM PILLOW OVER HIS DAM HEAD !!! WHAT OTHER REASON WOULD YOU NEED ??? AND THEY EMBALMED THE BODY SO THERE CAN BE NO DRUG TESTS !!!
COVER UP !!!!!!!!!
I doubt that he will be missed at all
The Secret Service and congress should put a hold on all his and his wife’s international travel. Take all that money saved and give it to all disabled and homeless veterans for housing or any other need they may have.
I agree 100% the government should be responsible for the disabled and homeless veterans Obama has destroyed not just our country, but the whole world that is in turmoil. I am sure he will be the only black man every elected in my lifetime he didn’t do his race justice he divided the blacks and whites more than anyone totally realizes thru his ignorance and stupidity and that includes his spouse Michele. I am sure after he has left the White House she will write a book on their sorry ass marriage unless she is paid millions to keep her mouth shut.
SHOWS WHAT HE IS REALLY MADE OF.. SAD BUT TRUE. MANY PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS ABSENCE
I disagree. Obama should begin to stop being phony and accommodating and be as real to Scalia memory and the Republicans As They Have Been To him.
There is no love lost and the GOD has always treated him like crap. SO BE IT. Time to show the animus runs both ways..
And stop the hyperbole. Presidents have skipped SCOTUS funerals before and sent proxies and no doubt will after thus.
Scalia could not stand the PRESIDENT And Since The GOP treats him bad and criticizes him no matter what..why stay phony?
This is why we love Trump. He nor only would skip the funeral of an opponent who made his job a living hell, but also would probably regale the country with why he could not stand the deceased and why the country is better off without him.
Also..it is a long standing African American tradition to not be fake or lie about the deceased or go to funerals they are not wanted at.
YET another thing about black culture that many do not know. They hate phonies and two facedness.
So good for Obama. Too late for him to grow a spine but at least he does not have to leave low towing to a bunch of…you know what’s who never respected him anyway.
Obama is not going and frankly, Scalia who was a straight shooter, would not want him there anyway.
..we can skip calling this classless. The way the right treated both Obama and the office of the President has been galling and classless for the past 8 years.
He finally does something to not kiss up? Par for the course. Pun intended.
I’d like to attend Obama’s funeral right now, he deserves a big send off “TO HELL”!!!
It is on the news he going also his wife. So I guess we will have to wait in see. This is just trouble being stirred up.
Obama does everything he can to show his contempt for the USA, its consttution and it people. He is a Muslim and wants the world to know that for him it is Alluha Akbar and the hell with the USA way of life. He should be impeached and sent to Gitmo where he belongs.
Why??? Because if he were to go there, it would be all about this idiot, not about Scalia , how important he ( Obama) is….
TRAITOR Hussein Obama doesn’t have time to attend Justice Scalia’s funeral. Hussein Obama is too busy playing golf and visiting his Marxist ‘bro’ Fidel Castro in Cuba.
What is happening with Hilary C? Just a week ago there was a publication stating that Hilary would be banned from all Government positions, especially sensitive positions, and no way to run for President. Now she is campaigning for the Democrat Presidency, what a horrible reality to see her spread lies and spreading her B. S. daily HILARY CLINTON IS A CRIMINAL and SOCIALIST. She must be stripped of her Security Clearance, charged with Dereliction of Duty as Secretary of State, Ignoring the Frantic Calls for help from the Ambassador and his Navy Seals.
I was up late so I turned on the TV, Gov Channel, There was Hilary C. sit on a couch with Pres. Obama eating and drinking while enjoying the Burning Consulate, Tortured and Murdered Navy Seals and the Ambassador covered with knife cuts and blood dragged into frame, pulled his head back cutting his throat. The Diplomatic Rescue Team (I forgot their Official designation) just minutes away praying for Hilary Clinton to give them the Go-ahead,
it never came and 5 families lost their Loved ones
Obama has embarrassed America too many times this just shows how left wing he is and I for one am so sick of him doing things like this. If this was a liberal justice he would attend. He is going to see a dictator Castro and he insults a Supreme Court Justice and he won’t go to see our allies Isreal. Well that’s enough on him.
He has shown his true colors time & time again, & yet millions of Americans remain enthralled by him. We can only hope that some will see the hypocrisy in this situation. Honoring the life of, & paying respects to this great American who served on the Supreme Court should have nothing to do with politics. Grow up Obama!! Act responsibly like a president!!!
He won’t. We all know that. He, I would bet, is going golfing on us Americans dollar again. He’s such a prick. Disgusting man. He’s not even a man. He’s an infant. He makes most Americans ILL, just like Hitlery. He should be ashamed as well as ALL Americans, that like this jerk.
Diane, Judge Scalia was very political,( and made it know) which as a judge shouldn’t be. They are not suppose to make decisions based on their own feelings, but he did. Obama is a responsible man, his schedule is such that he will go to the wake and pay his respects then. What is so wrong with that, every move President Obama makes is criticized and unwarranted. The hypocrisy is that for years you and your ilk have not criticized Bush for his lack of judgement on 9/11, but once Trump calls them out you are listening, it’s disgusting! The conservative movement was all about christian ideology and all that goes out the window with Trump, whom you are all enthralled in. Get ready for the fascism, it’s the beginning.
That is NEVER going to happen, Diane. He is behaving true to form–like a SPOILED 2-year-old. One thing NOBODY could ever accuse the no-class Jerk-in-Chief of is being mature!
Alicia Salinas, It is tradition and one of the duties of the President to pay respects to a Supreme Court Justice by attending their funerals. You could even say it is one of the duties of his office. Showing up to the wake and skipping the funeral is an insult and a blatant slap in the face to Scalia’s family and ton the Supreme Court. THAT is EXACTLY why he is doing it, and exactly what he intended–to send that message–just because he and Scalia did not see eye-to-eye politically, and, oh yeah, Scalia was neither black nor Muslim, and therefore not worthy of King Obongo’s preciouis time.
You criticize Scalia for being “political”, even though he was friends with many liberals including those on the court, whereas Obama is incapable of doing ANYTHING without racial bias, and I noticed you gave him a complete PASS for his BLATANT RACISM.
You really need to pull your head out and look around! Obama and Moochell are scum and this country will have a difficult time recovering from the damage that has been done during his presidency. He wouldn’t make a pimple on Bush’s ass!
Really, Alicia??? Obama is a responsible man??? Where have you been for the past almost 8 years??? Not attending the funeral is a blatant slap in the face to Scalia’s family and to the Supreme Court, and that is NOT being responsible. He lives for himself, and does what pleases him, when it comes right down to it.
Alicia Salinas., Justice Scalia was a STRICT Constitutionalist who believed the Constitution should ONLY be interpreted as was originally intended by the Founding Fathers who wrote it. They left other writings in which they commented on why the Constitution was written and worded as it was, and he rendered his decisions based strictly on the HISTORIC meaning and intent of the Constitution, NOT his “feelings”. Saying he ruled on his “feelings” just shows IGNORANCE of the work he did, and that accusation would be more true of OBAMA than Scalia. Scalia was a true legal intellectual–Obama is anything BUT!
Scalia is RENOWNED and respected by Conservatives and Liberals alike for his thoughtful and intelligent decisions rendered from the Supreme Court, and his written opinions are and will be a prominent part of American case law. When it comes to the law, Obama the so-called “Professor of Constitutional Law” is a mental MIDGET when compared to Scalia, which is, no doubt, ANOTHER reason Obama hated him. His declining to attend Scalia’s funeral is petty and childish SPITE–the action of an incompetent JERK who hates those with abilities beyond his OWN meager talents. And THAT is the true way things are.
Alicia, ¿Obama es una persona responsable? En que planeta nació Ud. On what planet were you born? I cannot believe that there are still people who believe Obama is a qualified, responsible president. ¡Es un Idiota! He is skipping the funeral of a Justice of the Supreme Court to go play golf. Yes, he is a very responsible individual. Maybe you can go visit him in Kenya when he is out of office. Or better yet, he belongs in Guantanamo, along with Hillary.
All of you are funny. Why want him at a funeral when the dead guy despised him and those who attend don’t like him either? At least at the end of this Presidency AND the end of Scalia’s tenure… can the phonies stop? You guys find fault no matter what. Had he shown up that would have caused faux outrage too. All of you sound like a bunch of hypocritical and venal kids.
Obama has screwed up this country so far that he can not do anything to correct his failures with the 11 months left. I can not wait till he is gone. We are so divided that only one guy might be able to fix it, and TRUMP IS THE MAN. Go TRUMP. If he gets elected, there is a whole bunch of the democrats who should worry, including Obama. Hillary needs some time in Jail. Holder needs to follow her in, and several others. Trump will most likely investigate Obamas birth location , if proven get every thing he did cancelled.
Wouldn’t THAT be GREAT?
Yes it would. He also needs to be thrown in prison for FRAUD. He defrauded the American people and government. Period. And Cruz is about to do the same thing.
I don’t think Cruz is going to. defraud the American people . Hey is a firm believer in the Constitution. I think Trump said what needed to be said and I like him for that. But I think he would serve the country better with a cabinet position
Don,t be an idiot Alan , you may prefer another canidate to Cruz, Cruz is NOT a Marxist. While Obama and hil studied under sol alinski, whom is the modern day Lennon/ Carl Marx. Please educate yourself if you think otherwise
What fraud would Cruz perpetrate ?
Obama isn’t a pimple on my dog’s ass. How can you opine that?
Gail, if Cruz is a firm believer of the constitution, why is he going to filibuster the nomination for judge, oh I get it, firm believer when it benefits him, just like his religion. Talk about hypocrisy.
Alicia Salinas, There is NOTHING inn the Constitution that requires Congress to confirm a Presidential appointee. In fact, it is both their right and DUTY to refuse to do so if they feel said appointee is not good for the country, or the appointed position.
As to fillbustering being unconstitutional, don’t be an IDIOT. Democrats have filibustered Republican Presidents’ Supreme Court nominees, and believe it or not, just because Obama is President and thinks he was elected KING DOES, and is a DEMOCRAT not make it unconstitutional for THEM to do it anymore than for Democrats to do so. You better actually, you know, READ the Constitution before posting what the Constitution “requires”. Otherwise, you just sound IGNORANT.
It would be great if Trump pulled in some legal immigrants from some of the Eastern Block countries to help explain to the voters why they elected to come to America and what government dependency did for them in the old country and why millions came to America to get away from those sick systems
I am hoping for the Donald. I’m an unemployed construction worker and a job on that fence along the Mexican border would suit me.
Shame on him!
this sad Speciemen of why Abortions should be allowed occasionally is the pure reason why NO CLASS MORONS SHOULD NEVER BE VOTED INtO ANY OFFICE
You are sick.
Obama is a puke. something disgusting you want to get out of your system, fast. I hope the Senate does their job and does NOT approve Obama’s nominee. Let the 2017 president do the nomination.
They should not. God bless America.
I was really thinking of the other end of the digestive tract. You know, the loose stuff.
This doesn’t surprise me in the least! He has no class and no respect for others. The only thing on his mine is bad-mouthing the conservatives for any and every thing and placing blame on everyone else! Man up, OB, and show a little respect. If you just don’t know how, there are plenty of 4 year olds that could teach you plenty!!! It is time to grow up!
Can’t man up if your not a man
Right on target, Mike!
I believed by not going to Justice Scalia’s funeral. He us disrespecting the late Justice, his family and the Italian American community.
I agree! He is acting just as classless and childish in this as the GOP has acted for the past 8years. It ought to look real familiar.
Obummer is a spineless piece of shit for not attending the funeral of the justice. I bet he is playing golf instead . What a diaster this guy is.
Obozo was a worthless piece of shit way before Scalia’s death.
I heard that O hole will be in Chicago cruising the bath houses to meet (meat?) up with some of his old suck buddies.
You mean Dick, er… Eric Holder?
Probably a good book to read would be Power Grab by Dick Morris, from what I have heard it pretty much explains why Obama does what he does. Controlling the American people by creating the need for dependency on the government because of financial hardship imposed on the people, thru loss of jobs. The loss of jobs are substantially affected thru manufactures going abroad and the impact of illegal aliens competing for jobs at a drastically reduced pay, all with the intention to make the average American more and more dependent on handouts and consequently the socialism he is promoting. It would be beneficial if our public schools actually enlightened our kids about the meaning of the Iron Curtain and that Karl Marx was not Santa Claus
Our schools have become so socialistic they are teaching just the opposite Roland. Sad!
READ BLOOD FEUD BY EDWARD KLEIN. IT WAS ON THE BEST SELLER LIST. GREAT READ! IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE OBAMA’S AND CLINTON’S, THIS IS THE BOOK TO READ.
Not much to learn gene, they are Marxist. They want America to give up it,s sovereignty or take it, and enter into the fold controlled by the united nation as the world,s governing body, with The Hague as it,s Supreme Court. No more constitution to restrain the progessive marxist, our freedoms are eroding everyday as is America. The Mexican national issue is a huge voting block that if it works, will be the end of any conservative thought.
It’s so sad that this President has begun to ruin the fabric of this country in less than 8 years. If Congress had any balls, they’d have impeached him already to prevent any further destruction of our values.
Those who voted for him should be ashamed, especially if they did so a 2nd time.
RrRon, you have hit the nail on the head, when are we all going to wake up!
We have no Patroits in Washington are Articles of impeachment would have already been done.
This “man” honors nothing American.
His values are not ours. He is such a polyglot of cultures, races, religions, ethnicities taking the least attractive tendencies from each – he has no identity so how can he honor America?
If Hillary is next in line, I’m moving to New Zealand. It’s an island, maybe they can keep Islam off their shores.
That is why I was surprised when he was voted twice. He showed his true colors during his first term. He never care for the black people, now, the unemployment of blacks are worse during this presidency. He does not even address the high crime from his state of Illinois. He does not respect anyone at all.
The reason prejudice against blacks rose with this president is the arrogant ones are vocal and won’t look at Obama’s charter behaviors. In their whiny obssession over I’m a Black all whites hate me they forgot to use their brain and tell whites to hate them they should knock this purposeful stupidity off. Normal people do not try to give others the idea they suck or you should think they suck psychos do that. The truth is most of whites do not hate blacks. And only a black who is brainwashed believes it.
could be the family doesn’t want obama there.
To me it would be an insult to have him attend the funeral. – I would even hate to have him on the same golf green as me!
hussein is a supreme insult to the history of this country!
It’s better this way. Now we don’t have to look at his smug face. Probably golfing.
He is the worst ever.Hate him.
Chances are the Justice Scalia being the conservative he was would have preferred not to have our liberal President at his funeral. Ten more months of Obama and we can get going with repairing the damage done to our country.
Hans, I never thought of that. You are soooo right.
Scalia wasn’t like that. He got along with liberals as well as Conservatives. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is as liberal as they come, and they were best friends. OBAMA is the one who lectures US about “getting along” and “working together”, but he sure does NOT practice what he preaches! He is the most partisan, uncooperative POS that ever held the office of President, and a blatant racist who hates white people, on top of that.
Justice Scalia was a very good catholic .Muslims hate Christians!!!. That’s why he does not attend the funeral. Shame on him!!!!
He was Catholic, white, and worst of all, a Constitutional Conservative who believed the Constitution should be interpreted as the founders wrote it and intended, and tried always to do that. He thought Obama played WAY too fast and loose with the Constitution, and was always grabbing powers that were not h\is to exercise according to the Constitution. Any ONE of those would be reason enough for Obama to hate him–and Scalia was ALL those things.
I STILL believe the way he died was EXTREMELY suspicious! The way that “hunting party” was set up out there in the middle of nowhere by a guy who was a friend and campaign donor to Obama; and Scalia invited to it, at the LAST minute where there was no time to arrange for security was suspicious. That justice–an Obama appointee–who declared him dead of “natural causes” BY PHONE without so much as seeing the body. She declined to order an autopsy–even though in the sudden death of a Supreme Court Justice who died alone with NO witnesses, an autopsy would be REQUIRED procedure and THAT seems VERY fishy. I’ve heard all the lame excuses as to why that was done, and they just DON’T WASH. The Justice was either completely incompetent (certainly possible with an Obama appointee!) or aiding and abetting a murder by helping cover it up. Finally, all these DEMOCRATS rushed him off to be embalmed before his body could be examined by anybody with medical expertise. I think there are PLENTY of reasons to suspect Obama had him MURDERED, not the LEAST of which is how his death at this point was SO VERY CONVENIENT for Obama
The cases pending before the court to rule on whether Obama’s “gun control” and “amnesty for illegals” executive orders were Constitutional were reportedly likely to go against Obama. His abject hatred of Scalia, on top of the possibility of his power-grabbing executive orders being overturned are motive enough for murder, for a sociopath like Obama. With Scalia dead, any of those cases against Obama that the Court already voted on, Scalia’s votes will be THROW out and the Justices will have to vote again, or rehear the entire case after a new Justice is appointed. Obama already HAS two stooges on the court who are more loyal to HIM than the Constitution or the country, and if the Court HAD voted on any of those cases had gone against Obama, you can BET one of them would have tipped him off about it, even though their deliberations are supposed to be confidential. And in the meantime, you can BET Obama will be busily implementing those executive orders. Furthermore, if he can bully the GUTLESS Republicans in the Senate into confirming his nominee, you can kiss the Second Amendment and a lot of other things GOOD-BYE.
Maybe he didn’t go to the funeral out of sheer COWARDICE because of what he did.
I would also hasten to point out that Obama is a COMMUNIST, and very OBVIOUSLY a dictator wannbe, and if you look at the history of Communist dictatorships and banana republics, the mysterious deaths of political rivals of “dear leader” in those places are a COMMON occurrence A prominent general who was a political rival of that little nut case who runs North Korea just turned up mysteriously dead, for instance.
In MY opinion, Obama is no more sane, nor any better a “leader” than the North Korean nut case, or Stalin and the old Soviet Union, for that matter.
Perhaps he is banned from entering a Catholic Church due to his non-respect. It would embarass him to see a sign of the cross made. Muslims don’t like that.
He would probably burst into FLAMES if he walked into a Catholic Church–you know, like vampires and other SATANIC creatures.
Will he or won’t he be golfing? Hmm. We still do not know where he was or what he was doing during the Benghazi attack.
Josh Earnest, Obama’s paid spokesweasel was really stammering around trying to find an excuse why Obama wasn’t attending Scalia’s funeral. I suspect he IS playing golf that day, and Earnest certainly didn’t want to say THAT, so he was stammering around at a loss.
My theory about where he was during Benghazi is that he was either drunk or stoned. I do NOT believe he stopped smoking pot and snorting coke, just because he is President. When he appeared to comment on Scalia’s death the first time, he was in a rumpled shirt, no tie, and seemed incoherent and perhaps not sober.
That would certainly explain why NOBODY will say where he was or what he was doing the night of Benghazi. wouldn’t it!
Why would Oslimy not attending be a surprise? He has proven to be subhuman, a muslin piece of garbage, who would cry his eyes out for thugs like Brown, Trevin, etc. But he knows he is way to low on the human scale to be up there with a WHITE judge. So, like the rabid dog he is, he stays away, which may just be the best respect he can give, by not desecrating the funeral.
Amen to your comment. Perhaps an empty casket, with Odummer’s name on all four sides of it, should be placed on every hole on his golf course, to show him what the moral majority of this country really thinks of him! He is nothing but a scum-bag who fits the title “Out of Africa.” yet there are many great and respected that have come legally from Africa. He is a dirty, rotten Muslim!
he is racist…if it were a black justice he would shout it out that he would attend funeral. America was stupid to elect this man and America will probably be stupid enough to elect hillary
Send these comments to the Senate Majority Leader ! : https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/?p=ContactForm
Of course Obama isn’t going to attend Scalia’s funeral; he’d rather be playing golf! What a piece of work he is! If Scalia were black or a Muslim, he would’ve been running to be there. And now I recently heard he is planning to go to Cuba next month to prop up that Communist country! He’s a Muslim-loving, Communist-loving, Christian-hating left wing pinko subversive who would love to see America become a third world nation. I can’t wait until that S.O.B. is out of office! God save our nation!!!!
If the President of the United States of America can disregard the family of an American Hero, the family should disregard the President.
Why didn’t everyone realize after the first* 4 years that Obama is a cold-hearted, non-caring ideologue? His only concern is destroying the United States of America, both the United* part and everything else along with it. In contrast, Mr. Scalia was a great, great man! He even loved his enemies! We will miss him so much! Let us thank God we had him, and somehow find the strength from God to make it through the last 10 months of the curse!
What an insult to the family and “We the People” to have such a classless leader!
He is suppose to show proper respect and shows none, he is to lead and does nothing but try to destroy the moral fabric of the United States! We the People will hold firm to out beliefs of Freedom and Justice for ALL and we most definitely DO NOT want him to be a replacement in the Supreme Court. His behavior is an embarrassment and to me personally he is the worst president ever and that will most definitely be his legacy!
Prayers for the Scalia Family!
God Bless America and Americans
Very few assholes attend funerals, not surprised.
I hate you Obama, I hope your plane crashes.
What a piece of s_____.
Obamanation absolutely has no class ,it’s the the responsibility of the office of the president to show respect to this supream court justice on behalf of all Americans,he is supposed to represent all of us .This truly displays how little respect he has for the office he holds .
Well people have tried to tell us this man is a hater of the United States of America, in his book he states very plainly that if he has to choose between Islam and America it will be Islam. What does that tell you? We should be demanding that our House of Representatives impeach him, defund his White House and his running around the country while waiting for him to be moved out of the White House. This President is a disgrace to every American ever born, he has committed Treason, he is a traitor and a obstructionist of the American way of life. I have wrote my Representative to start impeachment process but so far nothing has come of it so WE ALL NEED TO START WRITING THE HOUSE and have this disgraceful piece of baggage removed from his this office and the White House, remove any Secrete Service guards from him for we should not pay for protecting a traitor, remove any pension he was to get and stop all benefits. He should be stripped of all honors of any kind what ever they were for I do not remember any outside noble prize and how he got that I will never know. So people we must take action and contact our Congress, I did and I am sure others have but we need all Americans that believe this so called President should be oust to contact their House of Representatives and DEMAND impeachment and to DE FUND his regime from being able to do any more harm to our country and to remove any powers he claims he has. Reverse the roll of the SS and have them guarding him not protecting him.
Dennis – I agree whole heartedly and we need to get him impeached BEFORE he declares Martial Law. He has a purpose for pushing to get power to claim Martial Law anytime he sees fit. If he does not do so before election I will be very surprised. Then there would be no election, he will remain in power and the United States is SOL!
get him out before retirement so we do not have to pay for security for him and that awful family and no retirement. CONGRESS DO IT THIS IS A GOOD REASON…
Well guess that shows obama’s true colors.He is scumbag and always will be.Now we know who like all of us,who had him killed.This man if you can call him that,should be hung for treason against the American people and people of the world like Sadam.His name should be stricken end from the history books and completely taken off the official records.This piece of crap doesn’t deserve any recognition from the American people or the world.
To the Judge may you rest in piece and may God grace you with his presence and you will never be forgotten.RIP,thank you for your loyalty sir,you will be missed.
Shame on Obama for not not attending the funeral of the late Justice Scalia. The following Bible scripture identifies the kind of human being he truly is:
Proverbs 6:14 – Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
This sums up his entire presidency.
He is a staunch muslim – he does not want to be in a Catholic Church
“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”.
We have a President who bends over to Islam, caters to them in anyway he can which make me believe more than ever he is one of the enemy if not he would be doing as this great President did.
Been around before but still needs our attention…
> Why the Marine Hymn Contains the Verse “To the shores of Tripoli”
>
> This very interesting and a must read piece of our history. It points out where we may be heading.
>
> Most Americans are unaware of the fact that over two hundred years ago the United States had declared war on Islam and Thomas Jefferson led the charge!
>
> At the height of the eighteenth century, Muslim pirates (the “Barbary Pirates”) were the terror of the Mediterranean and a large area of the North Atlantic.
>
> They attacked every ship in sight, and held the crews for exorbitant ransoms. Those taken hostage were subjected to barbaric treatment and wrote heart-breaking letters home, begging their government and family members to pay whatever their Mohammedan captors demanded.
>
> These extortionists of the high seas represented the North African Islamic nations of Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers – collectively referred to as the Barbary Coast – and presented a dangerous and unprovoked threat to the new American Republic.
>
> Before the Revolutionary War, U.S. merchant ships had been under the protection of Great Britain. When the U.S. declared its independence and entered into war, the ships of the United States were protected by France. However, once the war was won, America had to protect its own fleets.
>
> Thus, the birth of the U.S. Navy. Beginning in 1784, seventeen years before he would become president, Thomas Jefferson became America ‘s Minister to France. That same year, the U.S. Congress sought to appease its Muslim adversaries by following in the footsteps of European nations who paid bribes to the Barbary States rather than engaging them in war.
>
> In July of 1785, Algerian pirates captured American ships, and the Dye of Algiers demanded an unheard-of ransom of $60,000. It was a plain and simple case of extortion, and Thomas Jefferson was vehemently opposed to any further payments. Instead, he proposed to Congress the formation of a coalition of allied nations who together could force the Islamic states into peace. A disinterested Congress decided to pay the ransom.
>
> In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli ‘s ambassador to Great Britain to ask by what right his nation attacked American ships and enslaved American citizens, and why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts
>
> The two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam “was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran that all nations who would not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
>
> Despite this stunning admission of premeditated violence on non-Muslim nations, as well as the objections of many notable American leaders, including George Washington, who warned that caving in was both wrong and would only further embolden the enemy, for the following fifteen years the American government paid the Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage of American ships or the return of American hostages. The payments in ransom and tribute amounted to over twenty percent of the United States government annual revenues in 1800.
>
> Jefferson was disgusted. Shortly after his being sworn in as the third President of the United States in 1801, the Pasha of Tripoli sent him a note demanding the immediate payment of $225,000 plus $25,000 a year for every year forthcoming. That changed everything.
>
> Jefferson let the Pasha know, in no uncertain terms, what he could do with his demand. The Pasha responded by cutting down the flagpole at the American consulate and declared war on the United States. Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers immediately followed suit. Jefferson, until now, had been against America raising a naval force for anything beyond coastal defense, but, having watched his nation be cowed by Islamic thuggery for long enough, decided that it was finally time to meet force with force.
>
> He dispatched a squadron of frigates to the Mediterranean and taught the Muslim nations of the Barbary Coast a lesson he hoped they would never forget. Congress authorized Jefferson to empower U.S. ships to seize all vessels and goods of the Pasha of Tripoli and to “cause to be done all other acts of precaution or hostility as the state of war would justify”.
>
> When Algiers and Tunis, who were both accustomed to American cowardice and acquiescence, saw the newly independent United States had both the will and the right to strike back, they quickly abandoned their allegiance to Tripoli. The war with Tripoli lasted for four more years, and raged up again in 1815. The bravery of the U.S. Marine Corps in these wars led to the line “to the shores of Tripoli” in the Marine Hymn, and they would forever be known as “leathernecks” for the leather collars of their uniforms, designed to prevent their heads from being cut off by the Muslim scimitars when boarding enemy ships.
>
> Islam, and what its Barbary followers justified doing in the name of their prophet and their god, disturbed Jefferson quite deeply.
>
> America had a tradition of religious tolerance. In fact Jefferson, himself, had co-authored the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, but fundamentalist Islam was like no other religion the world had ever seen. A religion based on supremacism, whose holy book not only condoned but mandated violence against unbelievers, was unacceptable to him. His greatest fear was that someday this brand of Islam would return and pose an even greater threat to the United States .
>
> This should concern every American. That Muslims have brought about women-only classes and swimming times at taxpayer-funded universities and public pools; that Christians, Jews, and Hindus have been banned from serving on juries where Muslim defendants are being judged; Piggy banks and Porky Pig tissue dispensers have been banned from workplaces because they offend Islamist sensibilities; ice cream has been discontinued at certain Burger King locations because the picture on the wrapper looks similar to the Arabic script for Allah; public schools are pulling pork from their menus; on and on and on and on….
>
> It’s death by a thousand cuts, or inch-by-inch as some refer to it, and most Americans have no idea that this battle is being waged every day across America. By not fighting back, by allowing groups to obfuscate what is really happening, and not insisting that the Islamists adapt to our own culture, the United States is cutting its own throat with a politically correct knife, and helping to further the Islamists agenda. Sadly, it appears that today America’s STUPID leaders would rather be politically correct than victorious!
>
> If you have any doubts about the above information, just Google “Thomas Jefferson vs. the Muslim World.
Trump is the man he is right on all that he has stated about these Islamist murders and their Quran. People we need to act and now is the time. Let us rid our White House of this evil. Impeach, de fund and move em out.
Dennis: I read this yesterday which someone forwarded to me. Very interesting concerning Thomas Jefferson, etc. Every American should read it. Thank you.
Dennis, loved your email. Please, look on the computer for, Teddy Roosevelt On Immigrants In America, 1907. You will like it. It is short but to the point. I heard this somewhere? Immigration without assimilation is invasion. Think about it. Thank you
Excellent post–thanks for sharing,Dennis! Knowing this history, it always amazes and infuriates me when Obama has the gall to stand up and declare that “Islam helped to build America” and “Muslims have always been a part of America.”
Like a lot of things he says, this is a distorted truth that amounts to an egregious LIE. Yes, they “helped to build America”–if forcing us to form a Navy, build ships and send them full of Marines to make WAR on them and put a stop to their pirate thuggery and grabbing our ships and their crews to hold for ransom can be considered “helping us build”. But that us certainly NOT “helping to build America” in the sense Obama hopes people will believe when they hear him say that.
LYING is about the ONLY thing Obama is really good at. He is VERY skilled at concocting lies that contain just ENOUGH truth for those gullible enough to believe ANYTHING he says to think what he says is true. I’m not one of those. Whenever I see his lips moving or hear him speaking, I just ASSUME anything he says is a LIE, and he has not proven me wrong yet!
Agree with all the above. Low class scum.
if it where Al sharpten or louie ferrakon or king of the muslims rag head nation
Since when does Obama give two hoots about what his “Constitutional duty” are or the Constitution itself? He has continuously ignored the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, for that matter, when it suits his twisted objective to undermine the basic principals of the United States of America against the majority wishes of the people. He thinks he is the Supreme leader or dictator and the general population does not have the capacity to understand anything, so he must decide for us. What a mockery of the office he is. Times are changing, hopefully the GOP will put a stop to this, if not it will be a bleak future. Vote republican!
Yeah, I also thought he had a lot of nerve trying to wrap himself in the Constitution and declare himself “more Constitutional than thou” to Republicans, when he has done NOTHING but try to trample and destroy the Constitution since the day he raised his hand and LIED his way through the oath of office when he promised to “preserve, protect, and defend it.”
In Obama’s eyes, the Justice is an infidel.
Probably he and Michelle will be going on a date night in NYC? Or be going to a
Black Lives Matter fund-raiser? Perhaps a dinner with Al Sharpton…another scum
on the planet.
I think he had Scalia done in…there are many ways to do that and leave no traces.
But Obama, iis. A blight on our country and has harmed many for eight years. And
fooled the ignorant with free cell phones and free food.
A horrid man. American? Hardly. Muslim, totally.
His refusal to stop the murders in the Middle East, is unforgivable.
As someone said earlier, Obama hates America…thus why expect him to
respect Scalia? We all mean nothing to him.
Reading the comments above just reinforces my thoughts of Obama legacy as lame duck president. I remember when Bush left the White House turning keys over to Obama there was millions of people degrading Bush. Because Bush had got us into war of mass construction. President Bush was giving the wrong information and he took all the heat that he didn’t not deserve. Nixion was impeached for a break in by others that cause his demise. Obama has done far more harm to this country than all the above Presidents and he still some considered an honorable President. But here is another person as crooked and lair even worst running to take Obama place. The Hillary Clinton stole $200,000. of furniture and pictures from the White House that she had to return…. Remember that… I just can’t believe this country would even consider her back in to rape this country and carry on Obama legacy. You have to totally asleep if you think Hillary can give you the America Dream. Please will someone wake this country up from this night mare….
Just one more no-class move by this no-class EMBARRASSMENT of a President. While he is lecturing Republicans about how they should be all non-partisan and confirm whatever left-wing HACK he nominates to replace Scalia, he demonstrates once more just how partisan, petty, and childishly vindictive he is about everything he does.
America owes Scalia’s family a gigantic apology for the insult to his memory by the Jerk-In-Chief. Of course since there’s a good chance Obama had Scalia MURDERED to prevent him from torpedoing Obama’s gun control and illegal amnesty executive orders in cases pending before the Court, I can see why he would not want to show his face there.
Obama is a disgrace and should be impeached…and as
soon as possible…and sent out of the USA forever.
On an island with no air strip and no way to get back to the USA!
If the Republicans are patient President Obama will create several blunders in his handling of this matter. Skipping the funeral for a campaign appearance or round of golf would provide a world of bad press for the president. This president is cocky and incompetent. If everyone is patient those same aspects of the Obama charm will show up in this matter. Such blunders will have some real PR value when it comes time to deal with the president’s nominee.
Our bike club has several bottles of good champaign in the bar with various politicians names on them. The approiate bottle is to be opened to celebrate when the person dies. This week we will gather to open the one with Scalia’s name on it and celebrate the passing of him and his swift passage to one of Dante’s special circles. After we finish the bottle we always salute it and proclaim the world a better place because of the reason for the bottle.
Don’t forget that back in ’08 he wanted his own private army as well funded and equipped as our federal Army. What people has he chosen for this? Refugees, Blacks, Russians, Chinese, N. Koreans, Muslims? Arming them with all our firearms he plans on confiscating? Sneaking them across our Southern border he refuses to close? Where are all those Czars? Never hear about them. Just some thoughts to ponder. Not going to Judge Scalias funeral? This guy is soooo low class. He is such a pompous ass.
Obama has better things to do. Like go to Cuba, and make sure those commercial flights keep bringing in the ISIS. First Class all the way for his Muslim buddies. Obama worried about building a wall? No Way. His ISIS friends will just fly over it with their homemade passports. Obama has no respect for anyone except Muslims.
Should that be the president’s decision, it would clearly and vividly signal the GREATEST DISRESPECT to our country!
The president must reconsider! Justice Scalia was a “judicial pillar” of America.
The American public, the media and All political pundits should be ashamed of arguing over Antonin Scalia’s position ONE moment after he died. The Dictator Obama is also being contemptible. We should honor the Scalia’s losses for a month or two before deciding on filling His supreme Court slot like in May when Dictator Obama makes a nominate choice and the Congress and Senate can accept or reject later this summer according to the Constitution.
Why are we waiting to do something? Impeachment proceedings should be implemented. Time is of the essence “We the people” have spoken.
The opinion and what it shows, shows the size of the man who will not attend the Judge’s funeral. What goes around will come around.
Hey hey Clint you are so right we as us citizens and Christians to Muslim we are infidels. Death to Muslims . Impeach the Trader In the White House NOW
If it were Clarance Thomas’ funeral, would Obama attend that one?
We ALL have seen this creature doing and/or saying things that a “TRUE AMERICAN PRESIDENT” would never even think about doing or saying. He has destroyed America financially! He has destroyed America as a world leader! He has distanced our friends from abroad! He has ruined our country’s friendship both at our borders and afar. He showed us just exactly what he was, in his first term! Then, what did the people of our country do??!! Instead of getting rid of the SOB, the people voted him in for just one more round of punishment!! Hell, we haven’t had enough degradation!! We haven’t had enough of our country’s good name smeared across the under souls of our enemy’s boots! Let’s see if we can aggravate the pure hell out of another friendly nation! I’m sure we can get at least one more to turn against us!
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THAT POS. TO HIM JUSTICE SCALIA WAS JUST A WHITE MAN.
Obama is not attending because Scalia was a white conservative and not a black liberal. If justice Clarence Thomas died; I guarantee Obama would be the first one to get there.
It’s attendance at the funeral would be a much greater insult.
This does not surprise me at all. Remember when Obama and spouse were at the 911 Memorial? The McCain’s (John and Cindy) were there as well and when honoring the people that died there, they, in a reverent manner, knelt and placed their roses on the memorial. The Obama’s, stood there and nonchalantly threw the roses on the pile. Not a word in the press! If it had been reversed it probably would have been a headline. Not attending Scalia’s funeral just fits right in with prior actions.
Can’t believe Obama was elected with only one positive comment from Salina!!! Where were the majority?
I agree with all the others.
Read a lot of the comments. I’m not an Obama fan but you guys are irrational, bigoted and hypocritical. If you all do not repent you WILL lift up your eyes in hell. GUARANTEED.
Now excuse me while I wash the vitriol and ugly stench of this board off me.
OBAMA may have been a weak President but you all are pure, unadulterated evil.
have a nice day and I will try to ensure we (meaning me and my Cadre of Independents) don’t keep company with you all.
Love the Donald..but loathe both bigots and mean spirited people so can’t share ideologies with you all…too disgusting for words.
Just remember there are always checks and balances in anything you do in life. As the old saying goes, “what goes around, comes around” also applies to Obama. He is not without reproach nor untouchable. Right now many of us view him as a despicable human being and would love to see him hung for treason. But there are still many people who admire this man for whatever reason I do not understand. They must not be living on the same planet as the rest of us. I can only say be patient for one day he will have to answer for the decisions he is making. If not in this life, when he meets his maker. Oh, my bad….he is not a Christian therefore does not believe in God. We, the American people are resilient and strong and will rise up if and when the need rears its ugly head.
ONE HUMAN TURD….
Obama you are a piece of garbage and its time for you to go out with the rest of the trash.
You mean that sorry sob isn’t dead yet?
Obama has zero respect for any conservative. He hates America & conservative Americans. He’s determined to destroy our country & our Constitution. If the steeple keep enjoying the status quo, it’s allowing him to do it too. God help us!
I THINK IT WOULD BE A DISHONOR FOR THAT TRAITOR TO ATTEND ANY SERVICE THAT HONORS A GREAT AMERICAN LET HIM PLAY GOLF AND VACATION AND LEAVE THE PAYING OF RESPECT TO THOSE WHO ARE RESPECTED THEMSELVES—– MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL CELEBRATE WHEN HE JOINS THE OTHER DEAD TERRORISTS AND TRAITORS WHO SEEK TO DESTROY AMERICA——I HOPE THEY NEVER RIP
What do you expect for a Prez who supports Black lives matter / all the Black killings of Police, Letting all Illegal immigrants in,
supports the refugees , The abuse of Executive orders, What ever happed to the Republican party , where did it go, had the power of the purse not to let Obama get his way but they just rolled over. No wonder Trump is doing so well , people are pissed off at the establishment. God help us and keep your Powder dry.
