Make Supreme Court Justices Attend State of the Union Address

I agree to have my idea, not my name or information, posted online.:
Yes

Our taxes go to the pay of Supreme Court Justices.

Our children need to see them in attendance at any State of the Union Address. Each justice must be present. This is Our Government made visible--to the entire nation and to the the world.

The arrogance of three or four of the nine not in attendance is something that should not be tolerated. One justice said they were like bumps on a log. Well, that is one person's made-up perception--change your perception. Remember that someone is in a foxhole, that person would wish to be a bump on a log. If SOTU addresses bore you, you shouldn't have taken the job. Arrogance of the first rank, you were given the job because we thought you could be bi-partisan. Obviously they are not going to police themselves on this issue. The American people must demand it.

  1. This would obviously make the governement more efficeient, the US Government was soooooh inefficeient for the 150 years that Supreme Court Justices never attended a State of the Union address or during the times that the President just sent the Congress a written letter, then during the 1960's the government started getting extremely efficient and extremely good at spending money, this coincided with more and more supreme court justices attending the state of the union, can I get any more rational than that. Let me put it in a simple mathematic formula for thiose of you that cannot/will not understand this:

    Supreme Court Jutice.

    Plus

    Attendance at the State of the Union.

    Equals

    Increased Government Efficiency.

    And thats what this site is all about!!!!!

    Great Idea!!!

  2. Many people see a direct line between Citizens' United and failure of justices to attend only that which they wish to attend. This Members withering comments and exclaimation points, notwithstanding.
