WOW. The guy can attend the funerals of thugs but won't make it for a well respected supreme court judge. Why am I not surprised?



Educate me. Which thugs funeral has he attended?

Scalia’s son, Eugene, did not immediately respond to a question about whether the family requested that Obama not attend the funeral.

How so? I didn't really see anything but a little speculation.

My mistake, I thought he had attended Mike Brown's and Trevon Martin's funerals.

You are forgiven.

Well, we won't be attending the funeral either. However we are here for the memorial service tomorrow. Scalia's former clerks that can attend play a role in the service. Former clerks of other Justices are treating it like some kind of reunion (they are all like some kind of fraternity/sorority) So far it feels like another networking/schmoozing fest. Security is ridiculous and mostly ineffectual. It's cold but at least it's not storming.


I'm curious if there is any murmur about his death being suspicious amongst the funeral attendees.


I have only attended a short cocktail reception yesterday evening. No talk about the circumstances other than the "tragic, suddenness of heart attacks in general". I will miss most of the gatherings as we have our child with us and these things are really in my wife's realm.

Tomorrow afternoon I hope to meet with a former Ginsburg clerk who is a member of the Cibolo creek hunting ranch. I have been hoping for an invite to quail hunt there for almost a decade now. Maybe I will get some gossip then.

I really do get a kick out of insulting Boiler and the Doc. I admit it. They are such easy targets! And complete and utter idiots too. I know the Doc and Boiler both think they tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Only problem is, they always think that! They're never wrong. Not in any discussion with me......or anybody else.....go figure. So the Doc says our President is a piece of shit and he's speaking the truth. Well, if that's the truth and nothing but the truth, let's get some objective criteria to measure his "piece of shit-ness". Let's see.........where to start........have fun ladies!
Obama and company have not given a reason on why he is not attending, which only furthers the feeling of disrespect. All the more reason to expect him to nominate another far left justice

Find out what you can. Keep your ear low to the ground. Don't attract suspicion. Convey my condolences to RBG. If you see Justice Alito, mention Italian People's Bakery and wink. He'll know what it means.

Ohhhh like that little bit of speculation about our current President being responsible for the judge's death? Check!
