Good for him. Maybe the whole SCOTUS will follow suit and not enable Obama to take the occasion to shred the Constitutional separation of powers.

Supreme Court Justice Alito Plans to Skip Next State of Union Address - FoxNews.com
When Supreme Court justices enter the House of Representatives in their black robes for the president's next State of the Union address, Samuel Alito does not plan to be among them.
The justice said the annual speech to Congress has become very political and awkward for the justices, who he says are expected to sit "like the proverbial potted plant."
Of course, Alito did not remain impassive at the most recent State of the Union speech by President Barack Obama. He reacted to Obama's unusual rebuke of the court for its decision in a campaign finance case by shaking his head and mouthing the words "not true."
