 He will be the first sitting president since Calvin Coolidge to visit, so it's a diplomatic trip.

He is attending Scalia's viewing.

Of course Obama constantly lectures about civility and respect but is one of the most rude and uncivil Presidents i have ever seen.

 Biden will, in fact attend.

Four out of the past seven funerals for a Supreme Court justice have either had the president or vice president in attendance.

Former President George W. Bush attended the funeral for Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

Former President Bill Clinton attended the funerals for former Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and Justice William Brennan but did not attend the funerals for Justices Harry Blackmun or Lewis F. Powell Jr.

Former Vice President Al Gore attended the funeral for Justice Thurgood Marshall.

If I met him, I would be respectful.

But I don't respect him at all.

 So what? WHat respect has he shown to the "bitter clingers" or to Christians or to the Conservative Right or to Republicans across the Board?   Oh, and BTW, the President is a Man, just like any other man.  This is a citizen govt not a Royal Kingship.   If he acts like a MAN worthy of respect, then he gets respect.  If not, then NO.  Now, if he came to visit our school, i would act respectfully out of the respect for the Office, but not for him as a person.

The flags at the mall were at half mast today. I assume it was for Justice Scalia. I thought it was a nice tribute.

Obama is "now regretting" his decision to join in the filibuster over the appointment of Justice Alito.

Yeah, it makes your little lecture to Republicans over the threat to filibuster just a little bit hypocritical, now doesn't it?

And Bush still had 19 months left of his presidency and the democrats tried to block the appointment.

Obama's reasoning -

"There are some who believe that the president, having won the election, should have complete authority to appoint his nominee and the Senate should only examine whether or not the justice is intellectually capable, and an all-around good guy. That once you get beyond intellect, and personal character, there should be no further question as to whether the judge should be confirmed.



I disagree with this view. I believe firmly that the Constitution calls for the Senate to advise and consent. I believe that it calls for meaningful advice and consent that includes an examination of a judge's philosophy, ideology, and record. And when I examine the philosophy, ideology, and record of Samuel Alito, I am deeply troubled.



I have no doubt that Judge Alito has the training and qualifications necessary to serve. As has been already stated, he has received the highest rating from the ABA, he is an intelligent man, and an accomplished jurist. There's no indication that he is not a man of fine character. But when you look at his record, when it comes to his understating of the constitution, I found that in almost every case he consistently sides on behalf of the powerful against the powerless. On behalf of a strong government or corporation against upholding Americans' individual rights and liberties."

I dislike Obama as President, and I don't see the issue in this. Previous presidents have missed funerals of Supreme Court Justices without outrage, and he will be attending the viewing.

I do hate it that I wonder though, would he be skipping the funeral if it was for Clarence Thomas (the black Justice) instead? I mean, he lowered the flag on the White House for Whitney Houston, but not for the servicemen killed in Chattanooga. There really is, unfortunately, a basis for my doubt. I wish there wasn't.

 Why? You like to correct people, well me, like it's your job.

And this had absolutely NOTHING to do with you. Wasn't your post, wasn't you being corrected and yet you felt the need to interject.

Maybe you should seek out some help from one of your "colleagues".
