Speaker Pelosi’s decision to ignore this long-standing American tradition is absurd, petty, and shameful. The judgement of history will NOT be kind.

It’s not canceled, .
@LindseyGrahamSC, just postponed. Once you all do your job and the 800,000 people get paychecks again -as they should- he’ll be able to give the SOTU address. The real emergency crisis is the#TrumpShutdown

You might want to brush up on the Constitution, Senator. The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union...” Article II, Section 3, Clause 1. Not required annually. Has often been delivered in writing.

You know what else used to be a tradition? Voting on Supreme Court nominees.

Your statement is misleading about the tradition. For a number of reasons in the past it has been rescheduled at times. Most of us the remember the rescheduling due to the space shuttle launch explosion in flight.

More than a tradition it is constitutional to allow a sitting president to appoint a Supreme Court Justice. That was the GOP on its downward descent to low.

Yes but when the tides are turned, the GOP cries about being treated unfairly. Let’s see if the Senate leader will hold up the nomination of a new SCOTUS if there is a opening.I bet they will not delay the nomination. There will be hell to pay.

Paying people for the work they do is tradition as well.
