President Barack Obama will not attend Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral on Saturday, the White House said, adding that Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden will be at the services.

quote:

Obama was pressed about his support of the filibuster against Alito during a press conference on Tuesday, responding that it’s not a parallel to today. “I think what’s fair to say is that how judicial nominations have evolved over time is not historically the fault of any single party,” he said. Obama also threw in, “What is also true is Justice Alito is on the bench right now.”

I was telling my mom that I got the best valentines gift of my life with this gently caress keeling over and she was like "ha my office liberal (in texas every office has a pet liberal) was in an extremely good mood over this too. Wtf?" And I explained all the stuff about he was a Nixon apointee and otherwise the left hand of the legal Devil with his factual innocence misquote, bigotry and homophobia, clear mindset that his legalistic principles were more important than actual justice, and so forth.

And then my loving mom tried to troll me. She was all like, isn't it a bit heartless to dance on someone's grave like this? I could tell she obviously didn't mean it and thought of this thread. So I explained that no, not if the grave is Hitler's and what you're really dancing for is all those jews who aren't going to be gassed.

She might be an ancient white lady but is legit enough to get it.

That she says that after telling her about how Scalia doesn't mind when innocent people are murdered by the state you have to be either retarded or a troll

You clearly haven't hosed my mom enough to know her that well and it's hard to get across the smirkyness in her voice as she said that in a post tho, so you'll have to trust me.

You dance on his grave because he wouldn't retire under a democrat, he was only going to leave by dieing in office. I didn't want Scalia dead, I just didn't want him on the bench.

Yeah, I only wish Scalia survived as a vegetable, capable of perceiving and understanding the world around him but utterly incapable of doing anything, moving in any way, in an eternal, barely but still technically conscious hell-life that dragged out for decades. This works too.

Sure, but the president needs to hand-pick them and they need to get approved by the senate and whatever

Which, even if the prez for some reason is like "I appoint Weedlord Bonerhitler", obviously the senate is going to be like "Uh no, this guy has no qualifications, also we have seen posts on the internet that he is gay, and likes caramel macchiatos and to be cuckolded"

This seems unnecessarily cruel. But more importantly, I don't think this is a disqualification for being a supreme court justice.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:

You're forgetting that the president is black and the senate is republican.

So Obama needs to be like "I'm appointing this lesbian black liberal judge"

Mitch McConnell: "No."

Obama: "Fine. I'm appointing a conservative just to get this process over with. My appointee is Cumshit Bonerfart."

*senate approves 96-0*

Justice Scalia spent his last hours with members of this secretive society of elite hunters

When Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died 12 days ago at a West Texas ranch, he was among high-ranking members of an exclusive fraternity for hunters called the International Order of St. Hubertus, an Austrian society that dates back to the 1600s.

After Scalia’s death Feb. 13, the names of the 35 other guests at the remote resort, along with details about Scalia’s connection to the hunters, have remained largely unknown. A review of public records shows that some of the men who were with Scalia at the ranch are connected through the International Order of St. Hubertus, whose members gathered at least once before at the same ranch for a celebratory weekend.

Members of the worldwide, male-only society wear dark-green robes emblazoned with a large cross and the motto “Deum Diligite Animalia Diligentes,” which means “Honoring God by honoring His creatures,” according to the group’s website. Some hold titles, such as Grand Master, Prior and Knight Grand Officer. The Order’s name is in honor of Hubert, the patron saint of hunters and fishermen.
