Scalia has a history of not attending SOTU, Dem or Rep in office.
And Thomas...is just Thomas.

9. Not like we elected them and they do run things. No surprise |
|
that they would prefer not be seen with their inferiors. Like Speaker Orange Glow and his agenda of scotch.

10. scalia and thomas didn't attend. they haven't in years |
|
Scalia and Thomas have almost never attended the SOTU in the past 15 years, including chimpy's SOTUs. Alito skipped it this year. Its nothing new or shocking. Justices Stevens and Souter regularly skipped it as well and Ginsburg missed the SOTUs for the a number of years in a row as well. Kennedy has missed around half of them the past 15 years.

13. No speeches were delivered between Adams and Coolidge. |

Justices attend SOTU sporadically.
