I'm glad he can finally speak his mind on the crass way that they were treated at the last State of the Union.
"The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling."
Yup, it is as if the President of the United States forgot where he was and attacked them in an idiotic way. I kind of felt the same way as the episode of Boston Legal where James Spader berates the Supreme Court to their faces. He would have been thrown in jail so fast for contempt it would make your head spin.
I mean they are the highest court in the land who can hold the President and Congress accountable and should be shown some kind of decorum from the other two branches. I really think they should not appear at any future State of the Union speeches because they aren't required to by the Constitution. Especially when they have to sit there like lumps and take a beating from the President.
