Your logic is flawed. There is a long history in this country of politics getting in the way of presidential appointees. If you think only the GOP does this, then please show me a picture of Robert Bork sitting on the Supreme Court. Both sides do this. It's common. Is that going too fast for you?
Now, the question of the funeral. CNN has been reporting that never in the history or our nation, not once, has a President failed to attend the funeral of a sitting justice of the Supreme Court. So as usual, TDF (who isn't a crazy conservative) is right.
So try to follow the bouncing ball...it's nothing new for the Senate to block a nominee. What Obama is doing, has never been done, not once in 240 years.
