Scalia calls State of the Union speech ‘a childish spectacle’

American Bar Association  "This year, Scalia explained his decision to stay away in a speech Tuesday evening sponsored by the Smithsonian Associates, the Associated Press reports. “It has turned into a childish spectacle. I don’t want to be there to lend dignity to it,” he said."
....
"The other justices who stayed away were Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr., according to The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times."

The comparison between Justice Scalia and Mr. Biden, who tends to applaud like a seal hoping for fish, is especially instructive.
