February 20, 201511 yr If you think about it, what did she miss? The Washington Olympics.......up, down, up, down, clap, clap. :ohbrother:
February 21, 201511 yr Would there be outrage if it was Scalia, Kennedy or Thomas passed out drunk at the State of the Union?I guarantee the usual suspects on here would be making a big deal of it.
February 21, 201511 yr I guarantee the usual suspects on here would be making a big deal of it. What's worse -- RBG, all 90 pounds of her, feeling the effects of dinner wine ... or three-fifths of the Knights of Columbus faction of the high court boycotting the speech?
February 21, 201511 yr What's worse -- RBG, all 90 pounds of her, feeling the effects of dinner wine ... or three-fifths of the Knights of Columbus faction of the high court boycotting the speech? Actually..I see your point, but she should have just skipped the proceedings.
February 21, 201511 yr With all due respect for my brothers and sisters on the left, I GUARAN DAMN TEE YOU if this had been a conservative judge we would still be hearing about it and a call for removal or resignation would be all over the news media. Feeling effects of her dinner wine? Hell, she was smashed. She should have excused herself from the proceeding for being "ill". Look, whether you're liberal or conservative, you do not show up to a Presidential address so smashed you cannot keep your head up.
February 22, 201511 yr I love it. Some of us have apparently graduated from chapter one of the playbook - "your guy did it too" - to more advanced coursework. "You would have your panties in a bigger wad if our guy had done it instead of your guy".:lol:
February 22, 201511 yr And for the record, she should have stayed home with the other Justices that made the same decision.
February 22, 201511 yr I love it. Some of us have apparently graduated from chapter one of the playbook - "your guy did it too" - to more advanced coursework. "You would have your panties in a bigger wad if our guy had done it instead of your guy".:lol: I'm just stating fact and you know it. And as I stated, it really doesn't matter which side of the aisle you are on. It's not too respectful to show up at a Presidential speech drunk enough you are passing out with a supreme court justice robe on. And I guess your comment was a shot at me, I don't know, but I call 'em as I see 'em. Yeah, I also get tired of the tit for tat crap that goes on in politics but when you get dumped on enough you tend to push back. That goes for both sides. Edited February 22, 201511 yr by OlDog75

Also, you know it's true if it were one of the conservative justices, it would have been a major deal. As OlDog75 just said, facts are facts.
February 22, 201511 yr While I don't think it's a big deal, the fellas on the right may have a point. Most of the mainstream media is left wing. So, the larger issue is that people are set in their ways and don't change channels until something really upsets them. Most Americans listen to one particular newscast or read one particular newspaper. If it is not reported as news there, they have no idea an event happened. Then they dismiss it's significance because their paper of record or newscast did not weigh in on the subject. Lemmings. So, the fact the mainstream media has not reported and not made a big deal is because it shows the left in a bad light. Not reported and the sheep won't notice.
