Obama Skips Justice Scalias Funeral To Play Golf Shortly after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalias passing, President Barack Obama and his administration were already discussing how to use the vacant seat to his advantage. Now, it appears that Obama will not be showing up to Scalias funeral. Instead, the Obamas intend to pay their respects in a trip to the Supreme Court on Friday. The president will pay his respects at the Supreme Court on Friday and hell be joined with the first lady when he does that, press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters. Vice President Biden and his wife will be attending the memorial service, but Earnest did not provide a reason that the President could not make the time. I dont have a sense of what the presidents plans are for Saturday, Earnest confirmed. Were guessing it has something to do with golf. What do you think?
