and Thomas said they didn't think they would attend.

6. Alito wasn't in town
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.

12. From 1801 until 1913, not a single sitting Justice attended. Ever.
Those fuckers!

13. No speeches were delivered between Adams and Coolidge.
Justices attend SOTU sporadically.
