I am with George Will and Clarence Thomas (a rare occurrence I can assure you). In his column in the Washington Post George Will said:
Most of the blame for the State of the Union silliness, as for so much else, goes to The Root of Much Mischief, a.k.a. Woodrow Wilson. But a president whose middle name was Wilson made matters worse.
Neither the Supreme Court nor the Joint Chiefs of Staff should appear at the State of the Union as it has devolved in to a showcase of bad partisan politics.
