WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts is expected to attend Tuesday night's State of the Union address by President Donald Trump to a joint session of Congress, even though he is presiding over the Senate impeachment trial that ends on Wednesday.
Roberts has been present at every State of the Union address since he became chief justice in the fall of 2005. That, too, is a departure from the practice of Rehnquist, who did not always attend.Three other justices are expected to be at Tuesday's address — Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Kagan, appointed to the court by President Barack Obama, has also attended every one of the events since she came onto the court in the fall of 2010.

Wow Putin must have money growing in trees!
Lump, loaded the court up pretty good! 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Maybe it's good that he gets a first row seat to view the dementia driven craziness first hand.
So?
Talk about blurring the lines ……. how is this not perceived as a conflict of interest It seems the Trump cancer has seeped into SCOTUS as well
So..
He is part of the problem. If it weren’t for Republicans cheating, the CJ would’ve been appointed by President Gore. This trial is just the latest installment of perverting justice and democracy. The vast right wing conspiracy is real
I remember when the Supreme Court was something admirable.
So, what pray tell are you insinuating?
Do you actually try this hard to be irrelevant. Every senator will be there too. Oh NO. 🤔🤭
John Roberts is an invertebrate
You got Senators who are running against him who are jurors in the impeachment trial.
So?
Well, I mean...it’s pretty normal for members of SCOTUS to attend the State of the Union, usually some (if not all) of them attend & sit right on the front row. This is nothing new. 🤷🏻♀️ But you go right ahead and act like it’s a big deal, . FakeNews
WHAT A JOKE !
So are the Democrats
I knew it!!!!!! Collusion!!!!! That cheater!!!
stevensonjim2 Roberts,a Coward,who knows W.H. Lawyers,have LIED during the entire Impeachment Hearing.Americans see this,and know this is a Scam,he Allowed.Shame on him.
The time for him to speak out when rand Paul out of the whistle blower and did namah breasted this is bullship
Trump destroys everything he touches...
Chief Emcee of the Impeachment
And?
He doesn’t want his head on a pike.
Well yeah, he's the chief justice, it's a formality.
daffi515 Is that what he’s doing? Presiding?
This guy is on the take! Just another GOP Trump Lackey taking orders from the president. This guy doesn’t deserve to hold any position in our justice system! Being complacent doesn’t make you honorable! CorruptJudge GOPCoverUp TheSupremeCourtIsDead NoJustice Liar NoLaws
Justice isn't just 'blind' but she has become deaf as well.
Will the 4 Senators (that should have recused themselves) running for POTUS be there?
So!
Don't they all go...is this nbc's attempt to cause drama
Justice should be separate from Govt. Period. Much like religion should be separate. In today's new Trump* World, there is no such thing anymore. In his position, I'd be stepping lightly and not drawing attention to my total support of a guy who's trial he's presiding over.
So what. It’s over. 🤷♂️
If anything, It would look biased if he deviated and did not attend the State of the Union address. Not really sure why this is worth pointing out.
RIGGED
I'm going to eat dinner tonight, even though I showered this morning.
Yes that’s what usually happens.
Our country is an unmitigated freak show.
He’s in on it duh
Will Queen Nancy be sitting right behind him rolling her eyes all night?
One does not affect the other.
No respect for this small man.
Should we throw on our shocked face?
NBC
He is doing his job as expected. Nothing says he can't attend.
Biased at best, stupid at worst
Tomorrow 'will' watching closely. Remember your 'own' Rule of Law, The U.S. Constition!!!!¡Maat
Did you breathlessly report that during Clinton’s very similar situation, as he too gave a SOTU address during his impeachment.
Ummm yup, so are the other Justices. Tradition.
It’s time for Roberts to speak out against all of the deceptive maneuvers of the GOP during this so called trial. CallThemOut
