RBG Only Ever Attends SOTU Addresses Given By Democrats

Remember when the left was up in arms over Trump commenting about “Obama judges” because judges are never ever partisan?

LOLOLOL. Tell that to RBG.

Turns out she only goes to SOTU addresses if they’re given by Democrats.

According to Daily Wire:

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg only attends the State of the Union speech when it’s being given by a Democrat president. To be fair, even when she does attend she drinks alcohol first and falls asleep, but still.

The Washington Post on Tuesday included a chart detailing the attendance of each Supreme Court justice at the SOTU going back to 2001. A note is included in the chart stating that no justice attended President Bill Clinton’s 2000 address because of “travel changes and minor illness.”

The chart shows that Ginsburg is the only justice who only attends state of the unions when they’re given by Democrats. She attended all eight of President Barack Obama’s addresses and some of Clinton’s, but none of President George W. Bush’s and so far none of President Donald Trump’s.

But “she’s not partisan,” right?

Every other justice besides Ginsburg has a bipartisan attendance record. Retired Justice Anthony Kennedy attended addresses given by Bush, Obama, and Trump. Justice Thomas, who has the worst attendance record, at least attended one Bush and one Obama SOTU. Justice Samuel Alito attended some Bush and Obama addresses, but none of Trump’s. Justice Sonya Sotomayor attended most of Obama’s speeches, and one of Trump’s.

“If Ginsburg attends Tuesday night, it might be for the same reason she said she attended the 2009 address. She had just undergone surgery for early-stage pancreatic cancer, and Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) had told an audience that Ginsburg might not be around much longer,” the Post reported.

Bunning apologized for what he said about Ginsburg. He died in 2017.

Yeah. I reeeeeeally doubt she’ll be there.

Though it wouldn’t hurt to make an appearance.
