Justice Breyer: ‘Very important’ to attend State of the Union address
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/12/breyer-very-important-attend-state-union/

At least one Supreme Court Justice will be attending next year's State of the Union address.

Justice Stephen Breyer suggested Sunday that other justices shouldn't let President Barack Obama's criticism of the court keep them away from the annual speech.

(snip)
"My job, Chris, is to write opinions," Breyer told Fox News' Chris Wallace in a rare interview. "The job of 307 million Americans is to criticize those opinions. What they say is up to them. The words I write are carrying out my job under the law as best I can. That's true of my colleagues."

"I'll go next year. I've gone every year. I think it's very, very, very important, very important for us to show up at that State of the Union because people today, as you know, are more and more visual," Breyer said.
